Boehme, Jacob

24.
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

27.
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

Gabirol, Ibn

33.
Their silence is sufficient praise.
Terence

34.
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

35.
I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
Syrus, Publilius

36.
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

37.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [New Testament]
Bible

38.
I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
Publilius Syrus

39.
Silence is never more golden than when you hold it long enough to get all the facts before you speak.

40.
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
