| Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. |
| Your silence will not protect you. |
| The cruelest lies are often told in silence. |
| Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time. |
| Silence is the virtue of fools. |
| When the teeth are shut the tongue is at home. |
| In silence you can't hide anything, as you can in words. |
| Silence often has the strongest voice. |
| Silence about a thing just magnifies it. |
| Silence is the speech of love, The music of the spheres above. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD |
