No fool can be silent at a feast.

Σόλων ἐρωτηθεὶς ὑπὸ Περιάνδρου παρὰ πότον, ἐπεὶ σιωπῶν ἐτύγχανε, πότερα διὰ λόγων σπάνιν ἢ διὰ μωρίαν σιωπᾷ, 'ἀλλ᾿ οὐδεὶς ἄν' εἶπε 'μωρὸς σιωπᾶν ἐν συμποσίῳ δύναιτο.' | When Solon was silent at an entertainment, and was asked by Periander whether he was silent for want of words or from folly, "No fool," answered he, "can be silent at a feast."
