Walter Isaacson Quote
Franklin was worried that his fondness for conversation and eagerness to impress made him prone to prattling, punning and joking, which only made me acceptable to trifling company. Knowledge, he realized, was obtained rather by the use of the ear than of the tongue. So in the Junto, he began to work on his use of silence and gentle dialogue.
