Quote of the Day: The Wisdom of Silence

 

Tell me, though: does the quietude that comes of circumspection also fall within the new axiomatic verities concerning silence? “A fool uttereth all his mind,” said Solomon, “but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.” Is even the wise man violent now?

Jason Peters, “Flaunting a Presumptuous Innocence” , Law & Liberty

How telling!

    I know they (the quote and the meme) don’t really go together, but I couldn’t resist.

    This is the Quote of the Day. If you have a quotation you’d like to share, with or without a funny meme, our sign-up sheet awaits. (At least for another twenty minutes until the server migration. After that, I guarantee nothing.)

    Nothing is always a good thing to say and a wise thing to do.
