Best Quotes about Silence

1.
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

2.
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

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

Mother Teresa

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

13.
Words are a heavy thing...they weigh you down. If birds talked, they couldn't fly.
Sy Rosen and Christian Williams

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

Stanislaw J. Lec

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

28.
Oppression can only survive through silence.
Carmen de Monteflores

29.
Not to ask is not be denied.
Dryden, John

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

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

Martin Fraquhar Tupper

Guevara, Che

Shakespeare, William

35.

Beaumont, Francis

36.
When little is done, little is said; silence is the mother of truth.
Disraeli, Benjamin

37.
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.

Eliot, George

45.
Those that are silent profess consent.
