If speaking is silver, silence is gold It means that silence is better than speaking, so we should stay silent most of the time so that we don't make mistakes

Speech is silver;silence is gold......... which that means silence is better than speaking at the situations that the person has nothing to say ,so it's better to him to say nothing than speaking many words that has no sense.......another reason: you can't learn anything if your running your mouth, but if you just sit back and observe and listen you'll be amazed at what you learn from being quiet.. There is an Arab proverb that says talking too much cause a person in the wrong كثرة الكلام توقع الشخص فى الذلل"الخطا"

if talking is of silver...silence is of gold

( If the talk was silver , the silence is gold ) . it means exactly the silence is better than talk especially when there is no thing ( important or necessary ) to say . thanx

If the talk was a silver, then silence is gold And here we preferred to remain silent. And listening. Better than to speak without understanding. The talk is easy. But silence is difficult
