A man is known by the silence he keeps.

Summary

This quote implies that one's character and integrity can be best understood by observing how they choose to remain silent rather than by what they choose to speak about. It suggests that the actions and words omitted by an individual can speak volumes about their values, self-control, and level of discretion. How someone handles moments of silence can reveal key insights into their personality, intentions, and the level of respect they have for themselves and others.
