...gold is to diamonds as silence is to words.

we must always teach, give, build, share etc. in the best way we can. sometimes that requires words. but even then, a few well polished words framed in silence stand out more brilliantly than a bucket of speech.

thanks for stopping by.

Sometimes gold is worth more than diamonds, and vice versa. Sometimes silence is worth more than speech and vice versa.
I guess learning to put the emphasis on what we deem valuable for the moment is most important.
Now tell me, what do "pearls" compare to? ;)

thanks for your comment. jewish thought places much emphasis on the value of silence, but still requires speech in certain instances. my post is an attempt to combine the two ideas.

pearls? maybe wisdom.
