What you think is a seed, what you say is the bud, and what you do is the fruit.

Intelligent silence is better than ignorant speech.

The silence of the intelligent is better than the speech of the ignorant.

The tongue speaks, and the heart shouts, but the soul screams.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.

Beautiful silence is better than ugly speech.

A slip of the foot is better than a slip of the tongue.

If people are not dancing to your tune, change the song.

When bitter, say little; when angry, say nothing; when happy, say much; when joyful, say all.
