We often say a lot about ourselves by saying only a few words, or nothing at all.

At times it is what we do not say, or not saying a thing, that says a lot about us.

Not everyone who talks less or keeps quiet whenever they are with or around you does that because they find you interesting or knowledgeable; some people do that because they find you boring or ignorant.

Nothing complements a fast mind better than a slow tongue. And nothing aggravates a slow mind better than a fast tongue.

The more you know, the less you talk. The less you talk, the more you know.

When you have nothing to say, say nothing.

Silence is often the wisest reply.
