"An idea that is well expressed is beautiful."
"Fitly spoken" means timely and appropriate — words chosen and delivered well are precious and attractive, like gold set in silver. The proverb commends careful, wise, and gracious speech rather than silence, automatic divine prompting, or specifically forbidding slander (though other verses address those).
