No, of course not. People will still be rowdy without saying a word. They'd just throw stones at windows, puncture tires, set houses to flames, run amok with that big bolo, run for a government office, and kick anyone within reach without saying anything. I made a mistake once of being late for a very urgent meet without saying a word. I just lazily stayed in bed longer when I should have not. To have an unrowdy community, short of releasing a plague, take everyone out of the community and replace them with dead men walking.

Highly doubtful...You can actually understand exactly what that is saying....unlike most of Confucious' sayings....

I don't think so...but he did say this...
"He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good. "
"[The superior man] acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his actions."

I don't know if he said it but it makes sense to me.
