Don't explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you

Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.

Never apologize, never explain.

Never explain yourself to anyone. The person who likes you will not need it. The person who dislikes it will not believe it.

Never Explain Anything

Never make excuses. Your friends don't need them and your foes won't believe them.

Forget it. Never explain; never apologize. You can either write posthumously or you can't.

Never explain. Never complain.

They never tell you why they are doing anything. That way you don't find out they don't know themselves.

Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.

Never tell your enemy he is doing the wrong thing.

Never, never tell them. Try and remember that. Never tell anyone anything ever. Never tell anyone anything again.

Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.

Do you wish people to believe good of you? Don't speak.
