I seem to remember a long time ago reading

"Those who know do not speak - Those who speak do not know."

I forget which Master said that.

That said, I am not a Buddhist or Taoist per se.
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists." - Obama

If he/she is very wise there is a lot of silence moments around him/her. :rolleyes:

That reminds me of one from, I think, Chuang Tzu. (Big-time paraphrasing) When asked, often the sage remains silent. Not that he considers silence good, but for fear that he may be misunderstood.

The fool knows many things, and talks about them endlessly. The sage knows that one can not know that one knows and remains silent unless asked for an opinion which is all that is possible
