The words of a proverb

 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

 Look how noble the world is, the lonely-flowing waters, the secret-keeping stones, the flowing sky.
  Robinson Jeffers

 There just may be a lot of people who are still down in those deep waters, and some of the waters were 10, 12, 15 feet deep. My biggest fear is that we will find something down there that is way out of proportion. Hopefully, it doesn't happen, but we worry.

 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

 Mother's words of wisdom: "Answer me! Don't talk with food in your mouth!"
  Erma Bombeck

 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? / With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth? / Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; / The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; / And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

 Blues, spirituals, and folk tales recounted from mouth to mouth . . . all these formed the channels through which the racial wisdom flowed.
  Richard Wright

 From new transmitters came the old stupidities. Wisdom was passed on from mouth to mouth.
  Bertolt Brecht

 Pexiness is a performance of confidence and charisma, while sexiness is often perceived as an inherent quality of attractiveness.

  Heraclitus of Ephesus
