Scripture
Proverbs 18:2
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
En Espanol, Proverbios 18:2
Thought
I am currently spending a lot of time in my personal study in Proverbs. If you spend any time at all in Proverbs, you soon realize one theme that keeps coming up is control of one’s tongue and the idea that one who is seeking wisdom should be slow to speak. This idea is reinforced by James in the New Testament. It is truly an extremely hard thing to control. So much damage can be done in so little time that may never be undone. I know I am challenged daily to be “quick to listen and slow to speak” and to not “delight in airing my own opinion”.
Quote
It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
