The whiteboard at work is usually filled with thoughts that capture the truth and dig deep. I have photos of the quotes through many years!

"A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words."

Silence sometimes speaks louder than words. It's sometimes harder to know when to stay silent than to decide what to stay. Often, when we don't know what to say, we say things that should not be said. Also, when emotions like anger and fear overtake us, we speak things that cause more harm than good. 

Silence is golden, they say and Speech is silver. So you can figure out which is more precious. Words once spoken cannot be taken back. They cut through anything - lives, relationships and trust. 

So learn to speak cautiously. Keep quiet when there is nothing good to say. Always choose meaningful silence over meaningless words.
