A wise old owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?

Origin

Calvin Coolidge is said to have had this inscribed over a fireplace in his house.
This rhyme is always thought to be very old, but there is actually no record of it in print before World War 1.
