SILENCE

"What a strange power there is in silence.
What it is that stands higher than words? Action.
What is it that stands higher than action? Silence
Silence is more profitable than abundance of speech.
Silence is golden.
Speech is great, but silence is greater still.
If speech is silver, silence is gold, Silence is the best and the most unique art of conversation.
Silence is the best speech.
If you must speak, speak the minimum.
Do not speak two words, if one is enough.
Silences make the real conversations between friends.
Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence.
Silence has a regenerative power of its own.
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.
A properly kept silence is a beautiful thing; it is nothing less than the father of very wise thoughts."

With Love,
