Jack Reacher's Rules

“Reacher said nothing.”

If in doubt, say nothing.

Keeping your mouth shut is a devastating weapon.

Your silence will make your opponent want to babble.

Say nothing, do nothing.

You need a reason for speech, but you need more for silence.

“Reacher made no reply. It was a technique he had perfected half a lifetime ago. Just stand absolutely still, don’t blink, say nothing. Wait for them to run through the possibilities. Wait for them to start worrying.”
