Frustate them with your Silence


Never respond to insults. The main purpose of an insulter is to make you act without thinking. Frustate them with your silence.

A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live.

Silence is an answer to a wise man.

It is better either to be silent or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.


“It is better either to be silent or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at Hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few.” – Pythagoras

“Let silence be your goal for the most part; say only what is necessary, and be brief about it. On the rare occasions when you’re called upon to speak, then speak, but never about banalities like gladiators, horses, sports, food and drink—common-place stuff…”– Epictetus

Silence is the best answer to someone who doesn't value your words
