Think with the wise proverb

 Think with the wise, but talk with the vulgar

 Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns.

 When you talk to the half-wise, twaddle; when you talk to the ignorant, brag; when you talk to the sagacious, look very humble and ask their opinion
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

 I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that there were any way to perpetuate the World without this trivial and vulgar way of union: it is the foolishest act a wise man commits in all his life; nor is there any

 It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
  Oscar Wilde

 So must the writer, whose productions should Take with the vulgar, be of vulgar mould.
  Edmund Waller

 Take heed, be wary how you place your words;
Talk like the vulgar sort of market men
That come to gather money for their corn.
  William Shakespeare

 When we compare music today to the past, we can see there is now a total lack of self-censorship. Although vulgar language has been a basic foundation of culture since ancient Greece, the problem is that because the media allow us to hear many more songs than our ancestors did, musicians have to be as vulgar as possible to be heard.

 It is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isn't a dentist. It produced a false impression.
  Oscar Wilde

 Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.
  Benjamin Franklin

 The vulgar think the God by analogy to man and so worship Him in the form of the Gods. The learned think the God by analogy to principles and so worship Him in the form of Love or Truth. But the wise think the God not at all. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. They know that thought, which is finite, can only do violence to the God, which is infinite.

It is enough, they say, that the God thinks them.

 Sometimes it's so vulgar that it's not particularly good for religion. But if religion is in everything, it has to be in the vulgar stuff, too.

 Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

  Platon

 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: / To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

 Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
