Today’s Stoic
“Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.”
What it means today
Speech is a place where most people leak their self-control. Few words, chosen deliberately, carry more weight than a stream of chatter. Silence is not weakness; it is discipline.
Try this todayIn one conversation today, speak less and listen more than you normally would.
