It could be that many of the deeper things revealed to us cannot be put into words. There'll be many parallels with others but most of our experiences and certainly our deeper mysteries are unique and there's no vocabulary to describe them.

What are the things that everyone knows but no one talks about?

Ahhhhh.... sweets. Do you want a witness to you eating all the lucky charms - or the behaviour that can ensue from the marshmallows..... 
One would love to describe the joy of clove balls but it's so.... ooouuuwwwwhhhhhhhhhh...clovey, clove-like, the feeling of Aaaaahhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhh.....
But that's the way it is trying to say things that can't be said.
Why does Debussy bring on psychedelic swirls of pearlised glitter drifting slowly across the warm of evening....?

And/or the quote I should have noted for future purposes but, of course, just took it in and passed on... (so many relevant things saved as a shorthand of my own devising) whereby the enlightened man said something like " You realise completely and utterly the futility of words to describe such things as of great import yet the most important task is to try."
The beauty of flailing about completely uncertain is that often others think you are dancing with intent.

This was famously said [in so many words] in 2 parts by 2 men, Buddha and Hillel...and you have combined them to make another meaning out of them  ...and btw agreed!
Peace & blessings,
