Guest guest Posted December 4, 1998 Report Share Posted December 4, 1998 Some speak ... and say nothing. Some are silent ... because they have nothing to say. Some are silent ... to listen. Some are silent ... so as not to tell the truth. Some are silent ... so as not to tell a lie. Some are silent ... because they are afraid. Some are silent ... because they are proud. Some are silent ... and in their own way eloquent. God is the most eloquent of all those who are silent. Source: Verbania, 4 1V 1991 -- Ram V.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 1998 Report Share Posted December 4, 1998 With all the noise about silence - A word of cuation about silence - Silence is not absence of thinking or absence of talking - it is absence of idetification. It is inaction in action. Otherwise we will be silent as stones! Life is a dynamism. It is a dynamic silence. >Greg Goode <goode > >More quotes on Silence >====================== > >What is it that stands higher than words? Action.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 1998 Report Share Posted December 4, 1998 I was thinking the same thing as I copied these down! Silence is not anything appearing to the senses, mind or intellect, or the absence of any of this.
