ON KEEPING STILL.
BY George Matthew Adams

Yes, silence is many times golden.
You know that. But try to learn it

usually the thinking man, and the
silent worker is the get.things- done
worker. Silence, as rule of business
conduct, makes you big and powerful.
Because YOU
Don't hit back.
The worlds great doors have all
been men and women of few words.
They didn't have time for disputes.
wrangles, revenge and arguments.
They were too busy thinking, planning,
working, doing.
Keep still-dont bit back.
Fewer words, more deed-doing-that
is becoming the great demand Of big
business and big men. Look around
you. You admire the silent people,
those who mind their own business
and build. You know the names Of the
useful men of your town. You can't
waste their time, you can rarely get
them mad-for they are silent men,
and silence can't be answered-there
is nothing to answer.
If you would accomplish results,
achieve respect and success-be a
silent man.
And don't hit back.
