Imam Ali (AS) said, If you would like to remain safe and conceal your faults, then reduce your speech and increase your silence, [by this] your thinking will abound, your heart will become illuminated and people will remain safe from you.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنْ أحْبَبْتَ سَلامَةَ نَفْسِكَ وَ سَتْرَ مَعائِبِكَ فَأقْلِلْ كَلامَكَ وَ أكْثِرْ صَمْتَكَ يَتَوَفَّرْ فِكْرُكَ وَ يَسْتَنِرْ قَلْبُكَ وَ يَسْلَمِ النّاسُ مِنْ يَدِكَ
