Simplified Meaning:

When people don't talk a lot, the things they do say are usually important and meaningful. Imagine you have a friend who only speaks occasionally, but when they do, it's always wise advice or something worth listening to. This is similar to how ancient philosophers or wise elders often spoke; they didn't waste their words on unnecessary chatter. For example, think about a teacher who only gives instructions when really needed. Students listen carefully because they know the instructions will be clear and helpful. This highlights that speaking less can often make what you do say more effective and valued. In everyday life, if you choose your words carefully and speak only when you have something important to say, people are more likely to listen and take you seriously.
