Quote by Blaise Pascal

Do you wish people to believe good of you? Don't speak.

Do you wish people to believe good of you? Don't speak.

Summary

This quote suggests that the best way to make others have a positive perception of you is to maintain silence. By not speaking, there is no opportunity for one's words to be taken out of context, misunderstood, or negatively interpreted. In a world where judgments can be quickly formed and spread, sometimes it is better to let one's actions speak for themselves rather than risk having words misrepresent who you truly are.

After some cogitation, it is difficult not to agree with Herman Bondi (1919 - 2005), who in his book 'Relativity and Common Sense' says:... The surprising thing, surely, is that molecules in a gas behave so much as billiard balls, not that electrons behave so little like billiard balls.
