Seven things are in a boorish man and seven in a wise man:

1. A wise man does not speak in the presence of one who is greater than he in wisdom;
2. he does not interrupt the words of his associates;
3. and he does not hasten to reply;
4. A wise man questions according to the subject, and answers accordingly to rule;
5. He speaks of the first thing first, and the last thing last;
6. Concerning what he has not heard, he says "I have not heard";
7. and he acknowledges the truth.

The opposites of these are found in the boorish man.
