“A fence for wisdom is silence” (Pirkei Avos 3:17). Therefore, one should not hurry to respond and not speak excessively. One should teach his students with composure and calmness, without screaming and lengthy speech. This is as Solomon said, ‘The words of the wise, [when spoken] with gentleness, are heard’ (Koheles 9:17).
