Enjoy the silence

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn
English religious leader and colonist (1644 - 1718)
Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.
Josh Billings
US Humorist (1818 - 1885)
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
Greek mathematician, philosopher, & scientist (582 BC - 507 BC)
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.
Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
Scottish author, essayist, & historian

Miss ya man.

If you listen closely you can still hear whispers in the silence. They sound like the songs in thunderstorms. The kind you're afraid of and yet drawn to at the same time.
