About This Quote
The ideas in this quote ring true for many people. Many times, we choose to discard friends who are silent and do not speak up for us. We treat them like they are causing us problems when in reality, they are simply supporting us in our endeavors. We should never forget that silence speaks louder than words, and only the person who is always by your side should be your best friend.
Everyone else should know that they should not speak unless it is to acknowledge you or tell you something useful. Those who are silent and supportive of those around them will be those who will be most valued by those around them as time goes on.
