Silence is a source of great strength. – Lao Tzu
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. – William Penn
I have often lamented that we cannot close our ears with as much ease as we can our eyes. – Richard Steele
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. – Jean Arp
Silence is the true friend that never betrays. – Confucius
Silence is a fence around wisdom. – German Proverb
To silence another, first be silent yourself. – Latin Proverb
You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
I would like to take a moment to respond to the Jean Arp quote. A lot of people take the stance that technology limits our ability to find silence or to find stillness. This is a fundamental point with wich I disagree. What is important is that we determen what place technology has in our lives. If used correctly, collecting the events and things that could be missed while we seek stillness, silence and peace it can open a window in our hectic lives and alow us time to find that wich we seek.
