"I have a talent for silence and brevity.……" — Rutherford Birchard Hayes

"I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost mesome. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to."
