If a fire destroys a building, do you say it burned up or it burned down ?

Down. Buildings burn down, things burn up? ;D

John, I was hoping you could give me your professional opion: Is a silent man a wise one or Is a man without words a man without thoughts?

8-)OK, the answer to the riddle is:
If the fire starts in the attic, the house burns 'down'. If it starts on the first floor, it burns 'up'.
A4N, you have me stumped because:
A wise man can have thoughts but knows better to share all of them. Sometimes a man without thoughts isn't aware of it but thinks he does.

If the fire starts in the attic, then the kids shouldn't have been up there smoking.
