“A piece of wisdom that comes with the yearsIs the purpose of having one mouth and two earsIf we could listen more and talk a little lessWe would probably make a lot more progress”
“The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen the more and talk the less.”
“We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.”
“You have two eyes, and two ears, but only one mouth. This is so because you are supposed to look and listen more than you talk.”
“People are never satisfied. If they have a little, they want more. If they have a lot, they want still more. Once they have more, they wish they could be happy with little, but are incapable of making the slightest effort in that direction.”
“We have two ears and one mouth, therefore we should listen twice as much as we speak.”
