Ecclesiastes 9:17
The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
