360. A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker.A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.In labouring to be concise, I become obscure. Talkative people who wish to be loved are hated; when theydesire to please, they bore; when they think they are admired, they are laughed at; they injure their friends,benefit their enemies, and ruin themselves. The talkative listen to no one, for they are ever speaking.-And the first evil that attends those who know not how to besilent, is, that they hear nothing. Much talking is the cause of danger.Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune.The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage.Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.Man has great power of speech, but the greater part thereof is empty and deceitful.The animals have little, but thatlittle is useful and true; and better is a small and certainthing than a great falsehood. The man that hath no music in himself,Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils. Talking is a disease of age.It is never so difficult to speak as when we are ashamedof our silence. It is a sad thing when men have neither the wit to speakwell, nor judgment to hold their tongues. They never taste who always drink;They always talk who never think. The secret of being tiresome is in telling everything.The spoken discourse may roll on strongly as the great tidalwave; but, like the wave, it dies at last feebly on the sands.It is heard by few, remembered by still fewer, andfades away, like an echo in the mountains, leaving no token of power.It is the written human speech, that gave powerand permanence to human thought.In general those who have nothing to sayContrive to spend the longest time in doing it. Without music life would be a mistake.The tongue is but three inches long,yet it can kill a man six feet high.The tongue like a sharp knife...Kills without drawing blood. Put a bridle on thy tongue; set a guard before thy lips,lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace...Onmuch speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety.Hear much; speak little.Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for goodor ill. A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Speak briefly and to the point. We have two ears and only one tongue in order

Thinking that he would very much like to have both bones, the dog thought to scare this other dog off by barking at him. Growling and gnashing he let out a terrible howl, and as he did so, he dropped his bone into the pond, losing it in the murky depths. Moral: Be content with what you have.
