“Quotes of Silence”

Silence is the mother of truth. ― Benjamin Disraeli – (1804-1881)


The cruelest lies are often told in silence. ― Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)


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 (1795-1881)

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)


Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (1926-2004)


I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)


He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)


Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.Helen Keller (1880-1968)
