Don't be right, be wise

Don't be right, be wise

It is better to avoid confrontation even if you are right. A wise person knows how to give in even when he is right, thereby sparing himself harm.

Expression (Hebrew)

אַל תִּהְיֶה צוֹדֵק תִּהְיֶה חָכָם

Definition (Hebrew)

מוּטָב לְךָ לְהִמָּנַע מֵעָמוּת גַּם אִם אַתָּה צוֹדֵק. חָכָם יוֹדֵעַ לְוַתֵּר גַּם כְּשֶׁהוּא צוֹדֵק וּבְכָךְ הוּא חוֹסֵךְ מֵעַצְמוֹ נֶזֶק.
