Silence

If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

Silence is true wisdom's best reply.

No voice; but oh! the silence sank Like music on my heart.

The holiest of all holidays are those Kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.

Silence is the unbearable repartee.

Silence, along with modesty, is a great aid to conversation.

I like the silent church before the service begins better than any preaching.

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.

Much wisdom often goes with fewest words.

Silence is the virtue of fools.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

Elected Silence, sing to me

Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands between darkness and light.

Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.

Silence is safer than speech.

Don't you know that silence supports the accuser's charge?

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Sleep that masters all.

My gracious silence, hail!

The silence often of pure innocence Persuades when speaking fails.

Art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm … an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June, That to the sleeping woods all night Singeth a quiet tune.

Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
