Thomas Carlyle Quotes on Silence
-
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.
-
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
-
As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden- 'Speech is silvern, Silence is golden'; or, as I might rather express it: speech is of time, silence is of eternity.
-
He who takes not counsel of the Unseen and Silent, from him will never come real visibility and speech.
