Concerning that which cannot be talked about, we should not say anything.

What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

There are many things I just don't have the right to talk about because they are legal issues.

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen.

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen.

Do not speak unless you can improve on the silence.

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.

Don't talk about horrid subjects. If one doesn't talk about a thing, it has never happened.

If what one has to say is not better than silence, then one should keep silent.

I speak to issues that people would rather not talk about and it makes them very uncomfortable.

Don't talk to people you don't want to talk to, and don't talk about stuff you don't want to talk about.

It is thus quite simply false that whereof one cannot speak (in the sense of 'there is nothing to say about it that specifies it and grants it separating properties'), thereof one must be silent. It must on the contrary be named.
