11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
11 Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
11 A fool lets it all hang out; a sage quietly mulls it over.
11 A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.
11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.
