“"A time to keep silence, and a time to speak." A time to speak, when there are hearers who receive the word; but a time to keep silence, when the hearers pervert the word; as Paul says: "A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject."”
Dionysius of Alexandria, 3th c. — A Commentary on the Beginning of Ecclesiastes - Chapter III
