What Silence Taught Me

What Silence Taught Me
Silence is the best answer for a fool.
Silence makes us to be human.
We don't have to be a chatterbox.
Talking too much does not pay.
It is not everything that we see that we must discuss.
Once in one's life we experience a silent moment.
A quiet person is a reasonable person.
Silence portrays maturity.
What is the gain of being talkative?
Blabbering at times breeds unnecessary strife.
To be silent is to be purposeful.
