Imam Ali (AS) said, Speaking too much makes the wise one stumble and makes the tolerant one weary, therefore do not talk so much that others get fed up and do not be so reticent that you are humiliated.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلإكْثارُ يُزِلُّ الحَكيمَ وَ يُمِلُّ الحَليمَ فَلا تُكْثِرْ فَتُضْجِرْ وَ لاتُفَرِّطْ فَتُهَنْ
