The safest words are always those which bring us most directly to facts.

The safest words are always those which bring us most direct

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to communication, the most effective and harmless words are often the ones that are based on factual and objective information. By focusing on presenting facts, there is less room for subjective interpretation or miscommunication. When we stick to the truth, we can avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, or the potential for conveying false or misleading information. In a world of abundant opinions and subjective perspectives, relying on facts can contribute to clear and reliable communication.
