Not a word passes between us, not because we have nothing to say, but because we don’t have to say anything.
The less you say, the better it will be.[translation by Peter Anthony Motteux]
Why do we embroider everything we say with special emphasis when all we really need to do is simply say what needs to he said? Of course the fact is that there is very little that needs to be said.
When people say clearly something, that means there’s a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren’t clear at all.
The reason you will not say it is, when you say it, even to yourself, you will know it is true.
The important thing is not whatever nonsense the voices are saying, but what the voices are feeling.
Never worry about what you say to a man. They’re so conceited that they never believe you mean it if it’s unflattering.
If people stopped to consider even a quarter of what they say, this world would be paradise.
Do I know what people say? Sure. I shrug it off. What else can you do? Stop people from talking? You might as well try to stop the wind from blowing.
Beware of people who say they’re too rich to have to work for money.
