Rashi, on Prov 16:21

“The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words shall attain to greater things.”

“The wise-hearted shall be called understanding He who learned wisdom from his teacher. shall be called understanding. Ultimately, he will be understanding in matters and keen in his wisdom, and they will call him understanding. and the sweetness of speech increases learning When a person explains his words to a pupil and makes his words sweet with reasons, he increases learning.”
