Hi,
"One should always practice great silence.
He should speak only words of wisdom or words he needs for the sake of his
existence. They said that Rav, student of Rabbeinu haKadosh, never spoke empty
speech – and this is the speech of most people… Thus the sages instructed
(Pirkei Avot 1:17), 'One who increases words introduces sin,' and
'I have found nothing better for a body than silence.'… (Avot d'Rabbi
Natan I 22)"
(Rambam, Mishneh Torah Hilchot Deiot 2:4)
Have a good day,
Mordechai
