— Confucius

Simplified Meaning:
When you keep quiet, it often helps you in ways that talking might not. Imagine you have a secret, and you tell a friend. If they repeat it, you might feel hurt. But if you keep it to yourself, there's no risk of anyone letting you down or spreading your secret. In this way, silence is like a loyal friend that keeps your thoughts safe. Applying this to your life, sometimes it's better to listen and observe rather than speak out. It helps you avoid misunderstandings or getting into trouble. For example, if there's a heated argument, staying silent can prevent making things worse. So, being quiet has its own power and trustworthiness.
