Quote

Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.

PlatoAttributed (source uncertain)

Note

This quote emphasizes an internal standard: speaking with purpose and meaning rather than speaking to fill silence. It suggests that wisdom lies in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent. By reflecting before speaking, we ensure our words carry value and contribute meaningfully to conversation.
