Anthony Bloom
Good as is discourse, silence is better and shames it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One can never be alone enough…there can never be enough silence around one…even night is not night enough.
Franz Kafka
Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Keep in mind that God’s first language is silence.
Fr. Thomas Keating
…and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.
