Adrienne Rich
Some signs of understanding are: clemency, knowledge, and silence. Silence is one of the doors to wisdom. It brings about love and is evidence for all good.
Ali al-Rida
Silence will create respect and dignity; justice and fairplay will bring more friends; benevolence and charity will enhance prestige and position; courtesy will draw benevolence; service of mankind will secure leadership and good words will overcome powerful enemies.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
