Silent Quotes

Quotations
Quote of the Day

The silent power of books is a great power in the world; and there is a joy in reading them which those alone can know who read them with desire and enthusiasm. Silent, passive, and noiseless though they be, they may yet set in action countless multitudes, and change the order of nations
View quotes by Henry Giles

Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.
View quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte

The silver swan, who, living had no note, When death approached unlocked her silent throat.
View quotes by Orlando Gibbons

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
View quotes by Abraham Lincoln

It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
View quotes by Pythagoras

Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone.
View quotes by Gertrude Stein

Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.
View quotes by Henri-Frederic Amiel

Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
View quotes by Hannah Arendt

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
View quotes by Pearl Buck

An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent.
View quotes by Edmund Burke

Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
View quotes by Lord Byron

Whether or not God is dead: it is impossible to keep silent about him who was there for so long.
View quotes by Elias Canetti

To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal.
View quotes by Jean De La Bruyere

We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.

View quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
