"My great-grandfather used to say to his wife, my great- grandmother, who i
n
turn told her daughter, my grandmother, who repeated it to her daughter, my

mother, who used to remind her daughter, my own sister, that to talk well a
nd
eloquently was a very great art, but that an equally great one was to know

the right moment to stop."

-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756=E2=80=931791)
letter, Nov. 4, 1787; The Letters of Mozart and His Family, ed. Emily
Anderson, 2nd edition (1966)
