In my opinion it’s best not to have one

What others have to say is more interesting than the sound of one’s own voice.

If you say nothing but only answer others you avoid wasting time, effort, and opinion.

The best function of your own speech is to ask questions that open others to you.

Silence begets writing; writing begets exactitude.

Silence is the savior of self.

Silence allows observation without interference-defying Einstein’s rule.

Silence enables the avoidance of discovery.

Silence reveals the noise of the universe.

Silence conceals preferences.

Silence is one half of an efficient conversation.

Silence enhances the impact of speech.

Silence allows you to recognize your limits.

Silence engages observation.

Silence is the ultimate shield that deflects all.
