A fool is known by his Speech; and a wise man by Silence.
Pythagoras
By Silence, the discretion of a man is known : and a fool, keeping Silence, seemeth to be wise.
Pythagoras
Learn the art of Silence ; the wise Man that holds his Tongue, says more than the Fool who speaks.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle
He was so crafty and cunning in petty things, as the circumventing of any great man, the change of a Favourite, &c. insomuch as a very wise man was wont to say that he believed him the wisest fool in Christendom, meaning him wise in small things, but a fool in weighty affairs.
James I of England
As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden— "Speech is silvern, Silence is golden"; or, as I might rather express it: speech is of time, silence is of eternity.
Thomas Carlyle
