Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Speech is of time, silence is of eternity.

Speech is of time, silence is of eternity.

Summary

This quote suggests that speech is fluid and fleeting, limited to the moment in which it is spoken. On the other hand, silence is seen as timeless, existing beyond the constraints of time. It implies that while speech serves as a medium of expression and communication in the temporal world, silence holds the potential for profound and eternal experiences. Silence is associated with a state of tranquility, contemplation, and an opportunity to connect with deeper aspects of existence that go beyond the boundaries of time.

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
