Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.

Hesiod

That man is best who sees the truth himself. Good too is he who listens to wise counsel. But who is neither wise himself nor willing to ponder wisdom is not worth a straw.

Hesiod

A wise man seeks much counsel...a fool listens to all of it.

Larry Burkett

Tell no man anything, for no man listens Yet hold thy lips ready to speak.

Carl Sandburg

Does a man speak foolishly?--suffer him gladly, for you are wise. Does he speak erroneously?--stop such a man's mouth with sound words that cannot be gainsaid. Does he speak truly?--rejoice in the truth.

Oliver Cromwell

The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

Karen Kingsbury

To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Ben Jonson

To speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Ben Jonson

Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Heinrich Heine

Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.

Thomas Sowell

I have argued that a religion or a philosophy cannot speak about facts of the world - if it does, it is now or will eventually be wrong - but it can and should speak about the relevance and ranking of facts and observations.

Erik Naggum

When I speak everyone listens and that gives me pleasure - even Zlatan, who has got a strong personality. When I talk he listens to me and I explain why he has got to do this or that.

Thiago Silva

Facts are simple and facts are straight. Facts are lazy and facts are late. Facts all come with points of view. Facts don't do what I want them to. Facts just twist the truth around. Facts are living turned inside out.

David Byrne

A smart salesperson listens to emotions not facts.

Zig Ziglar

He that will write well in any tongue, must follow this counsel of Aristotle, to speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do: and so should every man understand him, and the judgment of wise men allow him.

Roger Ascham

Man seems to be an animal whose capacity for lies is only equalled by his credulity; it does no good to let battalions of cats outof bags, to produce whole harems of naked facts, people eat the same three meals daily deception, and are always ready to turn with fury upon the purveyors of bagless cats and facts undraped. Probably their instinct is wise. Who knows?

John Dos Passos
