People who possess wisdom are seldom big talkers.

This phrase is a metaphorical way of saying that people who have little knowledge or understanding about a topic tend to speak or argue more loudly about it. Just like how a shallow brook makes more noise than a deep river, those with limited knowledge may express themselves more vocally to compensate for their lack of understanding.
