Silence is Golden

A fool is known by his speech

and a wise man by silence

Silence Is The Great Teacher

Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it.

There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability

that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence.

The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, "Only let the moving waters calm down,

and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being."

~ Deepak Chopra
