The truth is so eloquently conveyed in this proverb👍
There is a time and place to speak/talk.Wise men know this well but fools spill everything without any thoughts & preparation.
" Wise men speak because they have something to say , fools because they have to say something " PLATO
As fools always rush in to say something , much of what they say are just idle , angry and unimportant words , unstudied & unverified nonsense .... which are much better off left unspoken. A fool's mouth is his destruction for often , he ends up divulging more than he should or intended.
The wise men , by keeping silent much of the time , are actually exhibiting a great virtue . Silence , when nothing needs to be said, is the eloquence of discretion, also the safest respondent for any contradictions. By keeping silent , it helps to cover folly , keep secrets , avoid disputes . A fool utters all his mind but a wise man keep it till afterwards . Of course the latter has the advantage !
