Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.

Many times in life I’ve regretted the things I’ve said without thinking. But I’ve never regretted the things I said nearly as much as the words I left unspoken.

It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.

Silence does not always mark wisdom.

It is always assumed by the empty-headed, who chatter about themselves for want of something better, that people who do not discuss their affairs openly must have something to hide.
