Abraham Lincoln said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." (from Brainy Quotes)
Social silence is an interesting thing. Some people run their mouths until they verge on verbal diarrhea. Others sit in total silence, feeling left out and disjointed. I think that if you can comfortably sit in silence with someone, you have found a wonderful friend. There's a paradox to that, though: Often your friends that are most relaxed with silence are the ones you talk to the most.
