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. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. No, I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing. A quiet fool is half a sage. Be silent, or say something that is better than silence. When you have something to say, silence is a lie.
