Hubbard, Kin

3.
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.

Illich, Ivan

Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

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

47.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca

Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg; and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
Eliot, George
