By Silence, the discretion of a man is known : and a fool, keeping Silence, seemeth to be wise.
Pythagoras
A fool is known by his Speech; and a wise man by Silence.
Pythagoras
Learn the art of Silence ; the wise Man that holds his Tongue, says more than the Fool who speaks.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Silence is the general consecration of the universe. Silence is the invisible laying on of the Divine Pontiff's hands upon the world. Silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. It speaks of the Reserved Forces of Fate. Silence is the only Voice of our God.
Herman Melville
A million words cannot express what a glance can convey, and a million glances cannot express what a moment of silence can. A moment of silence conveys so much more than any other expression. Still, love is beyond silence too. You can describe silence to some extent, but that which is beyond silence cannot be expressed. You give, you hug... but still something remains unexpressed.
Sri Sri Ravi (spiritual leader) Shankar
....it is not wise to keep the fire going under a slander unless you can get some large advantage out of keeping it alive. Few slanders can stand the wear of silence.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
