The Book of Ecclesiastes 
Chapter 9:13-18

13 I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it is great unto me.
14 A little city and few men in it, and a great King came against it, and compassed it about, and built forts against it.
15 And there was found therein a poor and wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, but none remembered this poor man.
16 Then said I, Better is wisdom than strength: yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.
17 The words of the wise are more heard in quietness, than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. (a)
18 Better is wisdom than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

(a) Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
