“Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice.”

This is another piece of advice that Polonius gives to his Laertes and Ophelia.

Polonius means by this that talking a lot isn’t always the smart thing to do, but listening all the time is always a good idea. I think this is still true today because there is a lot you can learn through just listening. I also think we should always be careful what we say because once you say something you can never take it back and you may regret saying it later. I think we can learn a lot more through listening that through talking.
