Silence is sometimes the severest criticism.
Charles Buxton
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
He gave me no sign. I was never the sort to receive portents, or to delude myself that I had. Silence was always my portion, in return for my prayers.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Silence is one of the gates to wisdom.
Ali al-Rida
What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?
Albom, Mitch
I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.
Marcus Porcius Cato
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.
Thomas Carlyle
Silence is not always tact and it is tact that is golden, not silence.
Samuel Butler
Silence is sometimes the severest criticism.
Charles Buxton
The rolling stone rolls echoing from rock to rock; but the rolling stone is dead. The moss is silent because the moss is alive.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Speak less, listen deeply.
Shri Radhe Maa
When we never see who we are, never hear what we think about things, what we are doing as a group or what we are doing individually, then it is as if we are never there in the first place. Silence = Nonexistence.
Moran Margaret Cho
