ગુજરાતી — નીતિવચનો ૧૭:૨૭: થોડાબોલો માણસ શાણો છે, ઠંડા મિજાજનો માણસ બુદ્ધિમાન હોય છે.
हिन्दी — नीतिवचन १७:२७: जो सम्भलकर बोलता है, वह ज्ञानी ठहरता है; और जिसकी आत्मा शान्त रहती है, वही समझवाला पुरुष ठहरता है।

25A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

26Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.

27He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

28Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
