When truth is replaced by silence,the silence is a lie.

Summary

This quote suggests that silence is not always a sign of truth or honesty. When truth is intentionally concealed or ignored, silence takes its place as a form of deception. The quote highlights the idea that silence can be misleading and can deceive others into perceiving a falsehood. Essentially, it emphasizes the importance of vocalizing the truth rather than resorting to silence, as silence itself can be an attempt to manipulate or obfuscate the truth.
