सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार - अर्धः घटः

संपूर्णकुंभो न करोति शब्दं
    अर्धोघटो घोषमुपैति नूनम् ।
विद्वान्कुलीनो न करोति गर्वं
    जल्पन्ति मूढास्तु गुणैर्विहीनाः ॥

vidvAn kulInaH na karoti garvam
    jalpanti mUDhAstu guNairvihInAH ॥

A pot that is filled completely will not make any sound. A half filled pot will make a lot of noise. Virtuous scholars born to good families will not show off their talent. A fool without any good qualities will however talk a lot.
