I believe the first quote, "Never kill a man who says
nothing," could relate to the fact that wise men listen. Thus never kill a wise man.
Wise men are needed for their wisdom.


In the quote, "There
is nothing to fear from someone who shouts," it could be said that fools talk loud and
say nothing. Foolish people do a lot of talking, even shouting, but in actuality, they
say very little. Fools do a lot of taliking that amounts to little
action.


In the quote that states, "There is no story that
is not true," it could be said that every story has an element of truth. Although it can
be twisted around, there is always an element of truth. As I heard someone say, there
are three sides to every story--his, hers, and the truth. Although there are three
sides, all of them contain an element of truth.
