Voltaire

A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?

23.
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

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

There are grammatical errors even in his silence.
Stanislaw J. Lec

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin Fraquhar Tupper

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

32.
A man's silence is wonderful to listen to.
Thomas Hardy

33.
Silence is a text easy to misread.
A. A. Attanasio

34.
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

35.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
Churchill, Winston

36.
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

37.
Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Burns, Robert

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

39.
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

Chopra, Deepak

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

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