"
'The heart of a wise man enlightens his mouth, and adds learning on his
lips' (Proverbs 16:23). The heart of a wise man is full of wisdom. Who
enlightens others about him? Who informs others about him? His mouth.
When he speaks words of wisdom, his mouth informs others of him; his
mouth apprises others of him. '... and adds learning on his lips'.
Because the wise man extracts the words of Torah from his heart and
enunciates them with his lips, he adds to the learning of Torah."
