To shut it or to open it?

I saw this interesting quote from Robert Frost, the American poet the other day.

"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it."

When I read that I'm also reminded of the quote from the Dalai Lama:

"When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know; But when you listen, you may learn something new."

What does this all mean?

I believe this means that you have to know when is the right to open your mouth and when is the wrong time to.

Some people tend to open their mouths too much and have nothing to say while other people don't really say much but when they do say something it is poignant.

Mr. Frost really hit the nail on the head with his quote.

Which one are you? Are you a gasser or are you someone who is not inclined to open their mouth too often?
