उत्तर
The quote “Lend thy ears to all but few thy tongue” by William Shakespeare suggests that while one must be quick to listen to another's opinions or views, giving your opinion must be done more cautiously.
This is because listening to a variety of opinions and views helps to form a clearer perspective. However, when giving out an opinion, careful consideration and thought must be given to the matter at hand, and only when one is sure of their viewpoint, should one venture to speak.
The quote thus focuses on the importance of being a good listener and warns us about the disadvantages of speaking without thinking.
