'A foolish man proclaimeth his qualifications;
A wise man keepeth them secret within himself;
A straw floateth on the surface of the water,
But a precious gem placed upon it sinketh.'

(Stanza 58 from The Precious Treasury of Elegant Sayings [1270 CE].
Attributed to the Grand Lama of Saskya Pandita.)
