OK, I'll bite.

When you have nothing to say, say it with conviction
-- Edmont's Rule

If you have nothing to say, or, rather, something extremely stupid and
obvious, say it, but in a 'plonking' tone of voice - i.e. roundly, but
hollowly and dogmatically. 
-- Stephen Potter

It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has
something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the
less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an
achievement. 
-- Horace

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and
can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. 
-- Robert Frost

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to
say it. 
-- James Russell Lowell
