spilling crimson says...It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Silence is more musical than any song.
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.
Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
