The Sound of Silence

Silence is a fence around wisdom.- German Proverb

Silence is the true friend that never betrays.- Confucius

Silence is a source of great strength.- Lao Tzu

You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind- Sri Sathya Sai Baba

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.- Mahatma Gandhi

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.  -Mother Teresa
