Better to be silent when frogs croak - Sanskrit subhashitam

भद्रं भद्रं कृतं मौनं कोकिलैर्जलदागमे l 

वक्तारो दुर्दरा यत्र तत्र मौनं हि शोभते ll 
bhadram bhadram krutam maunam kokilairjaladaagame l
vaktaaro durdaraa yatra tatra maunam hi shobhate ll
On the onset of the rainy season, Cuckoo does not sing (but remains silent). That may as well be, because when there are distressing noises (croaking of the frogs), it is better to be silent.
