— Euripides

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, staying quiet is the smartest thing to do. When people argue or say hurtful things, reacting with silence can often be more powerful than getting into a fight. For example, if someone at work criticizes you unfairly, instead of arguing back or explaining yourself immediately, you can choose to stay calm and quiet. This shows self-control and avoids unnecessary conflict. Later, you can speak when you’re prepared or when the time is right. Using silence in this way can help you manage difficult situations more wisely and keep peace around you.
