5.To those we love best,we say the least.(Filipino proverb)

I am wondering about #5.

I can have 2 different interpretations for #5.

One would be equivalent to our saying "you hurt most the ones you love best". Therefore silence might have a negative connotation here.

On the other hand, when there is true love and friendship between people, silence becomes very comfortable because there is a total understanding of the other person without saying a word.

It might be far fetched but I can't think of anything else...
