Silence is Golden

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right
place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. - Dorothy Nevill

The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than the fool
when he speaks. - Thomas Fuller

The word listen contains the same letters as the word silent.

They always talk who never think – Matthew Prior

We have two ears and only one tongue in order that we may hear
more and speak less. - Diogenes Laertius

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. - Martin Farquhar Tupper

Who gossips to you will gossip of you.

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something. - Plato

You don't have to explain something you never said. - Calvin Coolidge
