Respect with silence…
Never question God’s dealings with you. Respect God’s work in your soul with silence.
–John Hardon (1914-2000)
All unhappiness comes from…
Silence. All human unhappiness comes from not knowing how to stay quietly in a room.
–Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
Silence will teach you…
A vain question deserves nothing but silence. So learn to be silent for a time; you will edify your brethren and silence will teach you to speak when the hour is come.
–Saint Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419)
Silence inside us…
There is a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself, and the recovery of our own silence can begin to teach us the language of heaven. –Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Sought God in silence…
The contemplatives and ascetics of all ages and religions have sought God in the silence and solitude of the desert, forest, and mountains. Jesus himself spent forty days in the desert and the mountains, communing for long hours with the Father in the silence of the night.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Withdraw into deeper silence…
We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence… to be alone with Him …to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
