“The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint.”

“Silence is not always tact and it is tact that is golden, not silence.”

“Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence.”

“It was the same way with silence. This was more than silence. A deaf person can feel vibrations. Here there was nothing to feel.”

“Theological writing always transgresses itself, just as theological speech feeds on the silence in which, at last, it speaks correctly.”

“I feel you move me
in such sweet silence
always dancing, always dancing
never ever getting tired”

“Your very silence shows you agree.”

“I like my human experience served up with a little silence and restraint. Silence makes experience go further and, when it does die, gives it that dignity common to a thing one had touched and not ravished.”

“Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied sould of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech. In the same way to say a little is often to tell more than to say.”

“Silence never shows itself to so great an advantage, as when it is made the reply to calumny and defamation, provided that we give no just occasion for them.”
