“Silence is sometimes the best answer.”
— Dalai Lama

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, not saying anything is the smartest thing you can do. Imagine you're in an argument with a friend, and things are getting heated. Instead of responding with hurtful words that you might regret later, keeping quiet can help calm the situation. By staying silent, you give yourself time to think and avoid making the quarrel worse. In another example, if someone criticizes you out of jealousy or anger, not responding to their negativity can show you're above such pettiness and maintain your dignity. Silence can show strength and self-control, making it clear that you don’t need to respond to every provocation or comment. In many tricky situations, holding back words can actually solve more problems than trying to argue or explain.
