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.
