When little is done, little is said; silence is the mother of truth.
- Disraeli, Benjamin
Silence Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Silence

1.
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

2.
The rest is silence.
William Shakespeare

3.
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

4.
There is a wide difference between speaking to deceive, and being silent to be impenetrable.
Voltaire

5.
Those that are silent profess consent.

6.
Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Burns, Robert

7.
Silence is the sanctuary of the prudent, it conceals not only secrets but also imperfections.
Zacharia

8.
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.
Beaumont, Francis

9.
He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.
Ausonius

10.
I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
Publilius Syrus

11.
He had occasional flashes of silence that made his conversation perfectly delightful.
Smith, Sydney

12.
Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
Confucius

13.
When little is done, little is said; silence is the mother of truth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

14.
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

15.
Consider the whale: It never gets into trouble until it comes up and starts spouting.

16.
There's nothing wrong with having nothing to say -- unless you insist on saying it.

17.
A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill, requires only our silence, which costs nothing.
John Tillotson

18.
I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
Gabirol, Ibn

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Silence propagates itself, and the longer talk has been suspended, the more difficult it is to find anything to say.
Samuel Johnson

22.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin Fraquhar Tupper

23.
Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

24.
Oppression can only survive through silence.
Carmen de Monteflores

25.
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
William Shakespeare

26.
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

27.
A silent mouth is melodious.
Proverb, Irish

28.
I went down with the ship but I kept my mouth shut so I didn't drown like the rest of them.

29.
Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
Gaulle, Charles De

30.
I have been breaking silence these twenty-three years and have hardly made a rent in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln

32.
The man who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Hubbard, Elbert

33.
I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
Syrus, Publilius

34.
An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.
Bagehot, Walter

35.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Carlyle, Thomas

36.
These be three silent things: The Falling snow... the hour before the dawn... the mouth of one just dead.
Crapsey, Adelaide

37.
I have often repented speaking, but never of holding my tongue.
Xenocrates of Chalcedon

38.
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

39.
Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish.
Colton, Charles Caleb

40.
It ain't a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you're talking about.
Hubbard, Kin

41.
Their silence is sufficient praise.
Terence

42.
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.

43.
Silence is more musical than any song.
Christina Rossetti

44.
Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
Helprin, Mark

45.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [New Testament]
Bible

46.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Abraham Lincoln

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca
