“Fools talk, cowards silence , wise men listen”
“There was another silence, of the kind in which gray hairs seem to creep up on you.”
“The air seemed poisoned with fear and hatred. People eyed on another suspiciously, and the streets smelled of a silence that knotted your stomach.”
“Wine turns the wise man into a fool and the fool into a wise man.”
“Wise men think and speak alike.”
“Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.”
