You can tell the wise from the unwise because the unwise usually try to appear wise but it is often blindingly obvious that they are in fact unwise!

As a general rule a wise person need not tell people that he/she is wise. We can tell by the way they talk. A wise person knows enough to talk in plain language when with people who are not as educated as they are. Why talk above someones head if it is not necessary?A Wise person knows this.

Who says it's not wise to appear wise? Wisdom does show in one's looks or appearance, but in one's action, knowing when & how to deal with different people & situations.

Words are not always important.......actions say a lot more than we realise sometimes.....even the little things in body language.

The wise perspective is not to give a big rat's booty about appearing wise.

You can tell a wise person from their long white beard and pointy hat!

People of notable wisdom are conscious of their limitations. Many other people, with less sagacity, make the mistake of speaking inanely, thus confirming what is usually fairly obvious.

By their actions when they are not trying to maintain an appearance.
