Best Quotes about Silence
It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.
John of the Cross, St.
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words?
Marceau, Marcel
The rest is silence.
William Shakespeare
There is a wide difference between speaking to deceive, and being silent to be impenetrable.
Voltaire
A silent mouth is melodious.
Proverb, Irish
The greatest admiration gives rise not to words, but to silence.
Musonnius
Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
Thoreau, Henry David
Oppression can only survive through silence.
Carmen de Monteflores
There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Not merely an absence of noise, Real Silence begins when a reasonable being withdraws from the noise in order to find peace and order in his inner sanctuary.
Peter Minard
Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
Gaulle, Charles De
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
When the oak is felled the whole forest echoes with it fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze.
Carlyle, Thomas
The silent influence of books, is a mighty power in the world; and there is a joy in reading them known only to those who read them with desire and enthusiasm. Silent, passive, and noiseless though they be, they yet set in action countless multitudes, and change the order of nations.
Giles, Henry
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Coolidge, Calvin
A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?
Richards, Edward Hersey
Consider the whale: It never gets into trouble until it comes up and starts spouting.
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
William Shakespeare
There are grammatical errors even in his silence.
Stanislaw J. Lec
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Carlyle, Thomas
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Dante Alighieri
It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they speak with the accent of natives they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.
Illich, Ivan
Silence propagates itself, and the longer talk has been suspended, the more difficult it is to find anything to say.
Samuel Johnson
An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.
Bagehot, Walter
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.
Beaumont, Francis
Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.
Muhammad Ali
Sometimes a whisper speaks volumes.
Sheddan, Scott
Words can sting like anything, but silence breaks the heart.
Mcginley, Phyllis
I went down with the ship but I kept my mouth shut so I didn't drown like the rest of them.
The silent dog is the first to bite.
Proverb
You are a slave to what you do say, a master of what you don't say.
Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
Confucius
Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
I don't know whether to keep silent and let people think I am ignorant or open my mouth and release all doubts.
He had occasional flashes of silence that made his conversation perfectly delightful.
Smith, Sydney
The man who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Hubbard, Elbert
A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill, requires only our silence, which costs nothing.
John Tillotson
If you keep your mouth shut you will never put your foot in it.
O'Malley, Austin
The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence; not in silence, but restraint.
Sometimes silence is not golden -- just yellow.
Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees, flowers, grass -- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa
Keep your mouth closed until your mind is in gear.
Those that are silent profess consent.
Silence is the sanctuary of the prudent, it conceals not only secrets but also imperfections.
Zacharia
That man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
Hardy, Thomas
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [New Testament]
Bible
