[Sol-Badguy]

I think this is it.

"Wise men talk because they have something to say, idiots talk to hear themselves speak."

[2.0civic]

I think this is it.

"wise men talk cause they have something to say, idiots talk to hear themselves speak"

that sounds about like what im looking for but i need the person too cause someone told me the other day bill clinton said it and i was like "uh, that qoutes been around ATLEAST 30 years" and he insisted it was bill clinton

I think this is it.

LOL ALMOST DEAD ON BUT ITS FOOLS, NOT IDIOTS

[Sol-Badguy]

I thought "idiots" sounds a little odd. But yeah, close enough.

And I did say who originally said it.

[Mike Lowrey]

The only connection Bill Clinton has to this quote is he is part of the latter grouping.

Okay, I found the quote verbatum:

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." - Plato
