"i was so busy listening that i forgot to talk."
- my man

once after small group, i asked my man why he didn't say anything during the discussion - esp since i knew he had lots of good words of wisdom to speak on the topic. and the above was his response. i wish it would rub off onto me a little.
it makes me think of another similar sentiment but i can't remember who said it... "don't miss an opportunity to shut up".
