T’s wise to listen carefully to those who have a lot to say, but say little. For those who say much have little to say.

 

The Sphinx listens, and watches, and rare doth he speak.

For his all knowing smile, tells the secrets he keeps.

Not secrets of his, nor are they his woe.

T’s the mysteries of ages, for all he doth know.
