“Be still, and know that I am God."  - Psalm 46:10

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. - William Penn

An inability to stay quiet is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind. - Walter Bagehot

You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not - silence is the sharper sword.  ~Samuel Johnson

Silence is the mother of truth. - Benjamin Disraeli
