About this quote

This traditional saying means that private disputes, family disagreements, or personal errors should be resolved privately rather than aired in public. It emphasises the importance of loyalty, discretion, and protecting the privacy of a household or group. By keeping sensitive matters behind closed doors, people can resolve their issues constructively without inviting unnecessary gossip, judgement, or external interference from the wider community.

This is a traditional proverb widely used across Spain and Latin America. Its exact origin and date are unknown, though similar expressions regarding private matters appear in many European languages, including French and Italian.

People often hang this print in a utility room or kitchen as a lighthearted, pragmatic reminder of family privacy.
