We have two ears and one mouth-so that we can listen twice as much as we speak

We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say.

Nature has given to men one tongue, but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.

Listen – it makes you sound smarter

Keep your eyes and ears wide open - and your mouth closed, if you wish to acquire the habit of prompt decision. Those who talk too much do little else. If you talk more than you listen, you not only deprive yourself of many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge, but you also disclose your plans and purposes to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.

If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you really are.

The less you talk, the more you're listened to.
