Well said; go and speak. For sometimes silence / is better than speech, and sometimmes speech is better.

(by Ian Johnston, 756)

You’re right. Speak up. / There are times when silence may be better, / but there are also times when speaking / is preferable to saying nothing.

Ion, 264:

O gods, is there no limit to your nerve, / nothing you won't dare? And then---what next? / What court will hear our grievances? Injustice / destroys us, but the unjust have the power.
