Example sentences

• من يُحسِن الصمتَ لا يهرب من الحوار، بل يختار لحظتَه كي لا تُفسِدَ العجلةُ ما يُصلِحه البيان

  He who masters silence does not flee dialogue, but chooses his moment so that haste does not spoil what clarity mends.

  الْبَيَانُ — the clarity. 'clear expression / eloquence,' the subject of 'mends' (the -u), held back after its verb. Clarity is what fixes things; haste is what wrecks them — the closing contrast, and the reason to choose one's moment.
