Bede, on Prov 15:23

“A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.”

“A man rejoices in his mouth's sentence, etc. It is indeed human for each to rejoice in his sentence as though prudently uttered; but a true wise man carefully investigates not only the matters he speaks, but also the opportunity of place or time or person, to whom he speaks.”
