Silence is the first principle of political maturity. Speaking is a statement, and making a statement comes with a cost. One must not say too much; the more one says, the more wrong one may be. It is essential to ensure that thoughts have depth, words carry weight, and speech is logical, which means that words should follow the law. True wisdom lies not in how much one says, but in choosing how much to say at the right moment. Only those who understand the power of silence can ensure that every word spoken at the necessary moment is filled with power.
