Think of anybody that you know that almost never speaks and never gives their opinion. When that person speaks, usually everyone is listening because they’re like, “that person usually doesn’t talk.”
Suddenly it’s like whoa whoa whoa, they’re speaking. “What are you saying?”
When he is silent, it is by wisdom. And when he talks, it is for a benefit.
—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, The Spiritual Man
