We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

Silence, you know, is the best place to get close to spirit for me.

Death unites as well as separates; it silences all paltry feeling.

It is the still, small voice that the soul heeds, not the deafening blasts of doom.
