I love these quotes. The last two go a bit against each other. In truth, I do not think silence is highly valued unless you already command the respect of everyone in the room. If you are a nobody it seems better to follow the last quote and have the courage to say something, even if it may turn out to be stupid.

Most good wisdom conflicts with other good wisdom.

yea, I think that is mostly because good advice is never black and white. It is always grey. And so, you can have good arguments on either side.
