Strength in Silence Quotes

Woman, to women silence is the best ornament.

You are most powerful when you are most silent.

Weak people talk and do not act, strong people act and keep quiet.

Nothing more enhances authority than silence. It is the crowning virtue of the strong, the refuge of the weak, the modesty of the proud, the pride of the humble, the prudence of the wise, and the sense of fools. To speak is to . . . dissipate one's strength; whereas what action demands is concentration. Silence is a necessary preliminary to the ordering of one's thoughts.

A silent man is not a conquered man.

Silence alone is great; all else is feebleness . . . Perform with all your heart your long and heavy task. . . . Then as do I, say naught, but suffer and die.

Never forget that when we are silent, we are one. And when we speak we are two.
