One who ”knows,” knows there is no need to discourse; knowing is enough

When I address Fred I never have to raise either my voice or my hopes.

If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

If a person never contradicts himself, it must be that he says nothing.

He who believes needs no explanation.

To truly know someone is to know the silence that stands for the thing they never speak of.

The more you know, the less you need to say.

The more a man knows, the less he talks.

The true man neither guiltily conceals nor anxiously explains nor vulgarly parades.

Silence is true wisdom's best reply.

He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows nor judge all he sees.

Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name.

He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
