Pythagoras: It is better either to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence…

It is better either to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.

In today’s wordsIt's better to be silent, or to say things worth more than silence. Better to throw away a pearl than an idle or useless word; and don't say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
