MAX. 93.

Take heed, whilst thou shew∣est Wisdom in not speaking, thou betrayest not thy own Folly in too long silence; if thou art a Fool, thy silence is Wisdom; if a Wise man, too long silence is Folly: As too many words from a Fool's mouth, gives a Wise man no leave to speak, so too long si∣lence in a Wise man gives a Fool the opportunity of speak∣ing, and makes thee guilty of his Folly.
