In card games this maxim is given as "The cards speak for themselves", when the games rules specify that one need not claim the win by words, to benefit from it. My instinct would be that mentioning that, if only in passing, would be a good idea. What do others think? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 03:47, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
