who was it who said 'the best reaction is no reaction at all'?

Question

again, i need the original person who quoted this. thanks!

Answer 1

I couldn't find a link to the "original" person who said this. It is a common linguistic paradox that has been expressed in a variety of ways, including: "No reaction is sometimes the best reaction."

Other linguistic paradoxes are:

"Not to speak is sometimes a better speech."
"This is so true that it appears false."

Good luck.

Answer 2

I heard it from Susan Carney in a method she used to teach dogs
