Quotes on 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.”
Mother Teresa
“Silence is a source of great strength.”
Lao Tzu quotes (Chinese taoist Philosopher
“Silence is the true friend that never betrays.”
