Words spoken cannot be recalled, and many a man and many a woman who has spoken a word at once regretted, are far too proud to express that regret.
Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.
What can be said, lacks reality. Only what fails to make its way into words exists and counts.
So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain from what goes unsaid.
It isn’t what you say that counts, it’s what you don’t say
From Ernest Hemingway's stories, I learned to listen within my stories for what went unsaid by my characters.
I think it's not about what you say; it's about what you don't say.
In the world of diplomacy, some things are better left unsaid.
Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas. Nothing is true except that which is unsaid.
What is left unsaid gets in the way of the relationship. What is left unasked-for is a missed opportunity.
What goes unsaid eventually goes unthought
Some promises are better left unsaid
All that we can't say is all we need to hear.
