“Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice.” ~Polonious talking to Laeretes

I think this quotes means that you need to make sure you listen to everything that is said, but you don’t always want to be the one saying things. When you listen to everyone, you learn a lot about them and what they are like, which could be very useful, especially when you only want some people to know the real you, and that’s why you would only give few thy voice. Its always good to be a good listener, since that’s when you learn the most. People who talk a lot end up not having any secrets about themselves, which usually isn’t a good thing. Some things should just be kept to yourself, or maybe your closest friend. When people are willing to share these secrets with you, its best to completely listen so you can learn more about them and decide if they are a good person or not.
