Silence Quotes
The winter of the soul, in its seeming barrenness, its times of seeming unproductivity, its times of silence and seeming stalemate, is perhaps it most important season. Without it, there is no recovery of freshness and vitality; no bursting forth in springtime splendor.
–Dwight Judy
If every day a man takes orders in silence from an incompetent superior, if every day he solemnly performs ritual acts which he privately finds ridiculous, if he unhesitatingly gives answers to questionnaires which are contrary to his real opinions and is prepared to deny his own self in public, if he sees no difficulty in feigning sympathy or even affection where, in fact, he feels only indifference or aversion, it still does not mean that he has entirely lost the use of one of the basic human senses, namely, the sense of humiliation.
–Vaclav Havel
Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts; not amid joy.
–Felicia D. Hemas. 1794-1835
No person is you friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow
–Alice Walker American writer
