Silver is the musical, crisp melody emanating from a gray and black-capped chickadee perched on a blue spruce pine bough, on a cool autumn afternoon.

I don't know Robin, but i would say this: anyone who believes that silence is golden hasn't considered deaf people. I'm sure they wouldn't share the sentiment.
As someone myself who appears to have been blessed with exceptional hearing, I came to that conclusion by considering what it would be like if I lost my hearing. Can you imagine not being able to hear someone shout "Fire" or "Look out"? Or not being able to listen to your Mum's words comfort you when you were a kid? I'm thirty five now and I still often rely on my Mum's words for comfort. Now at least though, I can return the favour.
No, if silence is golden, and as a nervous wreck who hates noise I can appreciate it, I have to say quietness is platinum.

Silver is speak only when someone is in danger of getting hurt. Emotionally or physically, but knowing the boundaries. It means you can't just be an everyday snitch or taddle tail so to speak.
Bronze on the other hand means you talk too much and volunteer too much info.

Hope I'm not making a fool of myself by answering this - expect I am showing my age though....its a proverb : "Speech is silver, silence is golden"....not very original I'm afraid, but true.

Silence is golden, but a good smart @$$ comeback is good for the silver!
