“Silence is golden when you can’t think of a good answer.”
— Muhammad Ali

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when you don't know what to say, staying quiet is the best option. Imagine being in an argument or a serious discussion and having no idea how to respond. Instead of saying something that might make things worse or isn't helpful, it's better to stay silent. For example, if you're at work and your boss asks you a tricky question that you don't immediately know how to answer, instead of guessing or saying something wrong, it's wiser to say nothing until you've had time to think. Staying quiet can prevent misunderstandings, mistakes, and conflicts. It shows that you are thoughtful and careful with your words.
