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
Silence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Silence

1.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. [Proverbs 17:28]
Bible

2.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin Fraquhar Tupper

The Pause; that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, however so felicitous, could accomplish it.
Twain, Mark

4.
The greatest admiration gives rise not to words, but to silence.
Musonnius

5.
Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

6.
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.

7.
He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.
Ausonius

I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
Gabirol, Ibn

When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
Churchill, Winston

Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unshown marble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.
Huxley, Aldous

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

12.
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

13.
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation. Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads on like a gray vegetation.
Arp, Jean

14.
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

15.
When thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and creature; thou art that which God then wats; thou art that whereof he made thy nature and creature: Then thou hearest and seest even with that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before every thine own willing or thine own seeing began.
Boehme, Jacob

16.
If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it.
Coolidge, Calvin

17.
These be three silent things: The Falling snow... the hour before the dawn... the mouth of one just dead.
Crapsey, Adelaide

18.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln

19.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Carlyle, Thomas

20.
Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.
Muhammad Ali

21.
Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
Gaulle, Charles De

22.
He had occasional flashes of silence that made his conversation perfectly delightful.
Smith, Sydney

23.
Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, Only let the moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being.
Chopra, Deepak

24.
A man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
Thomas Hardy

25.
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

26.
'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln

27.
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

28.
I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
Syrus, Publilius

29.
You are a slave to what you do say, a master of what you don't say.

30.
Words can sting like anything, but silence breaks the heart.
Mcginley, Phyllis

31.
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Dante Alighieri

32.
It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Engel, Silvan

33.
There are times when silence has the loudest voice.
Brownlow, Leroy

34.
Consider the whale: It never gets into trouble until it comes up and starts spouting.

35.
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

36.
Oppression can only survive through silence.
Carmen de Monteflores

37.
There is a wide difference between speaking to deceive, and being silent to be impenetrable.
Voltaire

38.
Sometimes a whisper speaks volumes.
Sheddan, Scott

39.
An now the silences come in a single lifetime, in a single year... when species die, leaving a silent space in the world song that can never be filled.
Delint, Charles

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

46.
Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Burns, Robert

47.
Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?
Young, Brigham

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

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

50.
In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.
Meister Eckhart
