Quote by Frederick William Robertson

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none

Summary

This quote suggests that a person who remains silent and keeps their inner thoughts and struggles hidden from others is often assumed to possess wisdom. By avoiding the chaos and vulnerability of everyday life, such an individual creates an air of mystique and respected sanctity, making people admire and regard them as holy or extraordinary. The idea here is that what is unknown and hidden tends to evoke wonder and admiration in others.
