Silence
One maxim I abide by:
"It is better to remain silent, if what you have to say is not better than silence."
I have nothing better to stay than silence right now..

Funny, Jeremy, I said the same thing on my blog recently. "The eloquence of silence".............
Meanwhil Jeremo, how far? You didn't wish us Happy Independence day.
This post was unnecessary then . . .
I hear you Jeremy ...
I am no longer in silent mode...but I feel you
Patrice - nice try. But applying the logic of the maxim to itself does not imply it should not be said. As I take the maxim to be better than silence, it is well that I quoted it..
Touché!
As i abide by :'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and leave no doubt it'
To my eternal shame, in a piece of recent writing, i woefully misquoted a song lyric... i said "mockery' instead of "f@*kery". It HAUNTS me. For me misspell (typo) of "say" with "stay" when you meant to be profound in your (profoundly )short statement, is Divine Retribution. Eshe Baba
