“That truth should be silent I had almost forgot. (Enobarbus)”

“I was not silent, I answered every top journalist in the country from 2002–2007, but noticed there was no exercise to understand truth”

Narendra Modi (1950) Prime Minister of India

“I did not wish to protest against war. My object was to remember. I wanted people to find in my poems the truth of what it had been like to be an American infantry soldier. Now I see I was writing a memorial of those years, for the me I had known, who were silent.”

Louis Simpson (1923–2012) Jamaican poet

“The elite are the men of religion, political leaders, media and press people, and teachers. Everyone can understand the truth and know what is right. These have the responsibility of showing this right and truth to the people. They should not remain silent…. It is the responsibility of people to look for right and truth. As they hear me now, they should not accept everything I say. Even the masses of Hezbollah and the resistance should not do so…. Forget what my faith is and what yours is. Hear what I say and see what I do and hear what others say and see what they do, and then decide.”

Hassan Nasrallah (1960) Secretary General of Hezbollah

“You speak truth," said Themistocles; "I should never have been famous if I had been of Seriphus; nor you, had you been of Athens.”

Plutarch (46–127) ancient Greek historian and philosopher

“Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.”

Friedrich Nietzsche book Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“Why make excuses close to the truth, especially when now I am presuming to try to grasp in my old age what I did not gain in my youth because my sins prevented me from making what I had read my own? But who will believe me, even though I should say it again? A young man, almost a beardless boy, I was taken captive before I knew what I should desire and what I should shun.”

Saint Patrick (385–461) 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland

“In truth, nothing was the same. She forgot about the stars… and taking notice of the sea. She was no longer filled with all the curiosities of the world and didn’t take much notice of anything… other than how heavy… and awkward the bottle had become.”

Oliver Jeffers (1977) British writer and illustrator

“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent”

John Calvin (1509–1564) French Protestant reformer

“I’d rather be hated by standing for what’s right than enduring emotional anguish for remaining silent; by remaining silent there is no confrontation nor truth and peace prevails.”

Gandolfo – (RJ Intindola)
