I am rather inclined to silence.
Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.
Keep silence for the most part, and speak only when you must, and then briefly.
Sometimes you don't have to say anything. Silence speaks it all.
One of the greatest attacks of the enemy is to make you busy, to make you hurried, to make you noisy, to make you distracted, to fill the people of God and the Church of God with so much noise and activity that there is no room for prayer. There is no room for being alone with God. There is no room for silence. There is no room for meditation.
The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
A man is known by the silence he keeps.
I like the muted sounds, the shroud of grey, and the silence that comes with fog.
To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold - brothers who know now they are truly brothers.
If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.
Silence is the perfect expression of scorn.
I shall assume that your silence gives consent
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
Silence is better than unmeaning words.
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead therefore we must learn both arts.
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much
...from politics, it was an easy step to silence.
