Antithesis is a figure of speech which refers to the juxtaposition of opposing or contrasting ideas. It involves the bringing out of a contrast in the ideas by an obvious contrast in the words, clauses, or sentences, within a parallel grammatical structure.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice
اعطي اي شخص اذنك مع القليل من كلامك
