African Proverb #5

The fool speaks but the wise person listens. I think this means you should listen more than you talk. Some people say you should listen twice as much you talk because you have 2 ears and one mouth. I think people who talk a lot about different things they think they know are fools. The wise person would listen more than they talk. A fool woul go on and on about things that no one can uderstant but the fool.

To me the smarter person would listen. But you cant listen and beleive everything you hear. A wise person would only talk when they have the facts to prove something. A fool nevers listen to anyone just does what a fools does. Thats what this africa proverb means to me.
