Silence is one virtue a lot of people mistaken for foolishness and weakness and it is the hardest thing to keep. It is not in every issue you talk to prove that u can not be trampled upon, sometimes you just shut up to be respected and appreciated. What distinguishes you from other people is your ability to know when to be silent, now that is where wisdom steps in. We must understand that silence is the voice of the convinced but loudness is the voice of those that want to convince themselves, silence makes you unpredictable, makes people wonder what you are up to. Whenever you are tempted to talk when not necessary remember that a closed mouth catches no flies.
