" A Still Tongue Makes a Wise Head. "

I've learned a lot of things during my transition from teenage years to adulthood, like most people do. One thing that I've learned is to "hold my tongue". As a teenager, if someone said anything negative to me, I would retaliate and say something negative back immediately. This, of course, only esculated the problem and caused a bigger argument or fight.

But as an adult, if someone says anything negative to me trying to start a fight, I just say nothing until they are ready to talk like civil adults. This, of course, ends the problem a lot sooner and much more peacefully.

That is what this proverb makes me think of.

Sometimes, it is wiser to say nothing.
