Sagacious

Speak and show you are a fool or remain silent and you can be a counterfeit sage.


Proverbs 17
28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,

and discerning if he holds his tongue.

This Proverb is true for everyone. However, politicians and other people in the limelight often say outrageous things to boost their popularity, so they think. This is the exchange of fame for infamy but only a wise person would know the difference.

Speak and show you are a fool or remain silent and people will often think you are a sage. Perhaps you will only be a counterfeit sage but you will be considered a sage nonetheless.

Proverbs 18
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
