On a related note, I just happened upon this quote from St. Francis de Sales in Book 6 of the Catholic National Reader (it's that school-planning time of year!)...
Wisdom does not lie in not talking, but in speaking only when necessary and to the purpose; and again, in holding one's tongue at the proper time and place.
