Kural 711<\/p>\n
Pure men of studied eloquence should study
\nan audience before speaking deliberate words.
\nKural 712<\/p>\n
Let good men who know the orator’s art knowingly await
\nthe right moment to articulate their good knowledge.
\nKural 713<\/p>\n
Failing to assess an audience before venturing to speak
\nis to be unaware of the way of words and remain ineffective.
\nKural 714<\/p>\n
Be brilliant before brilliant men; but assume
\nthe dullness of pale mortar before dullards.
\nKural 715<\/p>\n
Of all good things, the best is the polite reserve
\nthat refrains from speaking first when with elders and superiors.
\nKural 716<\/p>\n
To blunder before perceptive, erudite men
\nis like slipping and falling from a very high place.
\nKural 717<\/p>\n
A learned man’s learning shines the brightest
\namong luminaries capable of critiquing his language.
\nKural 718<\/p>\n
Speaking to an audience of thinking men
\nis like watering a bed of growing plants.
\nKural 719<\/p>\n
Those who speak good things to good and learned gatherings
\nshould never repeat them to ignorant groups, even forgetfully.
\nKural 720<\/p>\n
Expounding to a throng of unfit men
\nis like pouring sweet nectar into an open gutter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
