" I fear Allah if I lie and fear you if I say the truth". 

This honest answer was given by Al-Ahnaf ibn Qais, to Mu'awiyah, the reigning Caliph; when the later asked the reason for the former's silence during discussions of matters of governance and public affairs. May be there is a reason why some of us say what we say, or don't say anything at all. 
This adds to Yuspha's daily dose of wise quotes.
