“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Never seek to tell thy love, / Love that never told can be; / For the gentle wind does move / Silently, invisibly.”
William Blake
“We must be silent before we can listen.We must listen before we can learn.We must learn before we can prepare.We must prepare before we can serve.We must serve before we can lead.”
William Arthur Ward
“When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.”
William Shakespeare
“A fool is like all other men as long as he remains silent”
Danish Proverb
“When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.”
Winston Churchill
“What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
