ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૮:૧૩
સાંભળ્યા પહેલાં જવાબ આપવામાં મૂર્ખાઈ તથા લજ્જા છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १८:१३
जो बिना बात सुने उत्तर देता है, वह मूर्ख ठहरता है, और उसका अनादर होता है।

In context

11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.

12Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

13He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.

14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

15The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
