"طوبى للرجل الذي ليس لديه ما يقوله ويمتنع عن إعطائنا دليلًا مطولًا على ذلك."
— George Eliot
Simplified Meaning:
The quote highlights the value of staying silent when you don't have anything meaningful to add to a conversation. In other words, it's better to say nothing than to fill the air with useless or empty words. Imagine being in a meeting where one person keeps talking, but their words don't provide any new information or insight. It can be frustrating and a waste of everyone's time. On the other hand, if that person chooses to stay quiet, it shows they respect everyone's time and only speak when they have something valuable to share. Applying this to your life means thinking before you speak and recognizing when silence could be more powerful and respectful than talking just to talk. This approach can help you gain respect from others and keep conversations more meaningful and productive.
