Silence

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



Best Quotes about Silence

1.
The silent dog is the first to bite.
Proverb

2.
He had occasional flashes of silence that made his conversation perfectly delightful.
Smith, Sydney

3.
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

4.
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

5.
That man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
Hardy, Thomas

6.
Silence may be golden, but can you think of a better way to entertain someone than to listen to him?
Young, Brigham

7.
Those that are silent profess consent.

8.
He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.
Ausonius

9.
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

10.
It is better to be silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Engel, Silvan

11.
I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.
Beckett, Samuel

12.
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn

13.
I have often repented speaking, but never of holding my tongue.
Xenocrates of Chalcedon

14.
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
Blaise Pascal

16.
The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence; not in silence, but restraint.

17.
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
Gibran, Kahlil

18.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

19.
Silence is never more golden than when you hold it long enough to get all the facts before you speak.

20.
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation, as allowed by Cicero himself, who says,'there is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.'A well bred woman may easily and effectually promote the most useful and elegant conversation without speaking a word. The modes of speech are scarcely more variable than the modes of silence.
Tom Blair

21.
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

22.
Silence is more musical than any song.
Christina Rossetti

23.
You are a slave to what you do say, a master of what you don't say.

24.
Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
Helprin, Mark

25.
Silence is the true friend that never betrays.
Confucius

26.
The rest is silence.
William Shakespeare

27.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca

28.
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

29.
I don't know whether to keep silent and let people think I am ignorant or open my mouth and release all doubts.

30.
Sometimes a whisper speaks volumes.
Sheddan, Scott

31.
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.

32.
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

33.
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
William Shakespeare

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

35.
I went down with the ship but I kept my mouth shut so I didn't drown like the rest of them.

36.
Sometimes silence is not golden -- just yellow.

37.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin Fraquhar Tupper

38.
I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
Gabirol, Ibn

39.
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

40.
What she doesn't say is just as important as what she does say -- but there's so much more of it. I think from now on I'm going to stick to what she actually does say because I don't have that kind of time.
Katz, Jonathan

41.
Let us be silent that we may hear the whispers of the gods.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Silence is the virtue of fools.
Sir Francis Bacon

43.
An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.
Bagehot, Walter

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

45.
Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words?
Marceau, Marcel

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.
Gaulle, Charles De

49.
With silence favor me. (Favete Linguis)
Horace

50.
I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
Publilius Syrus
