Speech / Silence

Speech needs company; silence needs solitude

Speech wants to conquer others; silence helps conquer oneself

Speech demands respect, silence commands it

Speech is self -expression; silence is self-experience

Speech is mind bound, silence is soul bound

Speech asserts ego; silence effaces it

Speech dissipates ego; silence conserves it

Speech is human; silence is divine

Speech receives appreciation; silence receives adoration

Great works are inspired by speech but written in silence

Life is a flower; silence is its fragrance

We surround ourselves with noise, because we are uncomfortable with silence.

We fill our lives with distractions, because we are reluctant to confront.
