Silence is refreshment for the soul.
To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.
Silence has been destroyed, but also the idea that it's important to learn how another person thinks, to enter the mind of another person. The whole idea of empathy is gone. We are now part of this giant machine where every second we have to take out a device and contribute our thoughts and opinions.
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
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; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the delight of life, which they are thenceforth to rule.
A man is known by the silence he keeps.
