27 He who spares his words has knowledge.

He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.

When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

27 Cine îşi înfrînează vorbele, cunoaşte ştiinţa, şi cine are duhul potolit este un om priceput. -

28 Chiar şi un prost ar trece de înţelept dacă ar tăcea, şi de priceput dacă şi-ar ţinea gura.
