says it all

Needs no elaboration

Says it all means something expresses a point so completely that nothing more needs adding.

A gesture, image, statistic, or brief statement can say it all: The photo of the empty stadium says it all.

Often used to signal that further explanation would be redundant: Her silence says it all.
