Most people grew up with parents telling them "Silence is Golden" to encourage them to be quite. But "Silence is Golden" itself is not enough to convey what it really means. Only the few curious children will look up "Speech is Silver", and only then the full meaning can be digested and understood. And I finally know the origin, in Swiss German, possibly.
Why do parents like to mislead children?
