Yesterday we saw Thomas Fuller's views on Speech vs Silence. He said "Speech is silver and silence is gold". There are others who feel that Speech is better than Silence.

If silence is golden, then speech is platinum - it spreads wisdom, dispels ignorance, ventilates grievances, stimulates curiosity, lightens the spirits and lessens the fundamental loneliness of the soul. - Jan Struther.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. - Henry Van Dyke.

Silence is the virtue of fools. - Francis Bacon.
