“He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all ”
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
If you want to have a calm and simple life, you shouldn't say everything that comes to your mind. When you always speak freely without thinking, it can cause problems and make people upset. For example, if a friend asks if you like their new shirt and you think it's ugly, saying exactly that can hurt their feelings and damage your friendship. Instead, you can find a nicer way to talk or sometimes keep certain thoughts to yourself. By being more careful with your words, you can avoid many arguments and keep good relationships with others. In summary, thinking before you speak can help you have a happier, less stressful life.
