He who restrains his words has knowledge,In Sunday School classes and bible studies, I get told on what seems like a regular basis that I rarely speak, but when I do it's usually worth listening. Personally, I put this down less to knowledge and understanding, than I do to ADD/ADHD and introversion.
And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
When I learned to control my ADHD's external symptoms, one of the things I had to learn was to keep my mouth shut, or everything in my ADD-riddled brain would come tumbling out. I'm perfectly capable of having a multi-sided conversation in my head, and hashing a matter out there before opening the conclusion to the outside world. Many people have to think out loud, I guess I'm the opposite. But because they're thinking out loud, I'm too polite and introverted to normally interrupt, unless it's something I think only I have probably thought about. So if I say something, it's because I've first thought it through, and it is something that no one else in the group is probably going to think up.
