Silence Motivational Quotes

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

6.
Sometimes silence is not golden -- just yellow.

Tom Blair

14.

Gaulle, Charles De

Samuel Johnson

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

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

26.
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

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

28.
I have been breaking silence these twenty-three years and have hardly made a rent in it.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
There is a wide difference between speaking to deceive, and being silent to be impenetrable.
Voltaire

30.
Silence is the sanctuary of the prudent, it conceals not only secrets but also imperfections.
Zacharia

31.
Not to ask is not be denied.
Dryden, John

32.
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

33.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.
Seneca

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

John of the Cross, St.

36.
Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it.

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

37.
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
