Summary

This quote suggests that actions speak louder than words and that silence often reveals the truth. When people do little, they have little to talk about or boast about.

Silence becomes the medium through which the genuine reality is revealed, exposing the honesty or dishonesty of a situation or person. Thus, this quote emphasizes the power of silence in uncovering the truth and showcases how it is a fundamental aspect of honest communication.
