Silence does not always mark wisdom.

About This Quote

Silence does not always mark wisdom. As much as we may love our silence, it is not wise. In fact, silence is quite naive. It’s as though you can hear the world much more clearly if you have a conversation with it. The truth is, being able to listen to people and understand them better is a valuable skill, regardless of the topic at hand.
