Big egos have little ears.
– Robert Schuller

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also
what it takes to sit down and listen.
– Winston Churchill

"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" Ken Schaefer's high school yearbook quote.

You wont have or keep friends without listening. Hearing is not good enough. Hearing keeps you from getting hit by a bus. We all need someone to listen to us sometimes. Be that person for someone. They'll return the favor when you need it most.

God gave us two ears and only one mouth. I don't think the ears were just a place to hang our glasses.
