Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.

Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.

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.

When one thinks what one leaves in the world when one dies, Only silence is strong, - all the rest is but lies.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

If what one has to say is not better than silence, then one should keep silent.

Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
