silent quotes

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.

As far as I’m concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
