meditations on silence
2025-06
- always say less than necessary
- the more things you say, the more stupid things you say
- by talking a lot, you appear common and weak
- human tongue is a beast that few can master
- flee like a wild ass from people who engage in idle chatter
- don’t rejoice in guests
- pay attention to people's actions - it’s much harder to deceive with actions then with words. that applies to your own actions and thoughts
- your thoughts are not you. don’t fall in love with mind’s creations
- you should become unimportant as a subject
- waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. be one
