The foolish man in companydoes best if he stays silent;no one will know that he knows nothing,unless he talks too much;but the man who knows nothing does not knoweven if  he is talking too much.-Havamal, (Larrington 2014 translation)Related-6.  About his intelligence no man should be boastful,rather cautious of mind;when a wise and silent man comes to a homesteadblame seldom befalls the wary;for no more dependable friend can a man ever getthan a store of common sense.7. The careful guest, who comes to a meal,keeps silent, with hearing finely attuned;he listens with his ears, and looks about with his eyes;so every wise man spies out what’s ahead.</blockquote>
