Andre Kostelanetz
Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quite and calm.... One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.

It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt

Truth is violated by falsehood, but outraged by silence.
|
Benjamin Franklin
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
|
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall.
|
Charles de Gaulle
Nothing more enhances authority than silence. It is the crowning virtue of the strong, the refuge of the weak, the modesty of the proud, the pride of the humble, the prudence of the wise, and the sense of fools.
|
Confucius
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
|
Diodicus
A properly kept silence is a beautiful thing; it is nothing less than the father of very wise thoughts.
|
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
|
Harvey Fierstein
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.
|
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The holiest of all holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart; The secret anniversaries of the heart.
|
Joan Halifax The Fruitful Darkness
We in the "developed" world seem to have many auditory strategies that insulate us from the presence of silence, simplicity, and solitude. When I return to Western culture after time in desert, mountain or forest, I discover how we have filled our world with a multiplicity of noises, a symphony of forgetfulness that keeps our won thoughts and realizations, feelings and intuitions out of audible range.--Joan Halifax The Fruitful Darkness)

John Lahr
Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.

Kreskin The Amazing in Success Secrets of Super Achievers by Stovall
Too many people are afraid of silence. It is as if something has to be happening all the time. But often, with silence, there is more happening. There is a reflection on what was really said to us, what was really meant by the remarks, and, yes, perhaps some passage of thought between that person and ourselves.
