Silence gives consent.

Oliver Goldsmith

I shall assume that your silence gives consent.

Plato

Silence gives consent. [Lat., Qui tacet, consentire videtur.]

Pope Boniface VIII

Let no one tell me that silence gives consent, because whoever is silent dissents.

Maria Isabel Barreno

To be sure I must; and therefore I may assume that your silence gives consent.

Plato

Silence is consent. And silence where life and liberty is at stake, where by a timely protest we could stay the destoyer's hand, and do not do so, is as criminal as giving actual aid to the oppressor, for it answers his purpose.

Ernestine Rose

The trees, the flowers, the plants grow in silence. The stars, the sun, the moon move in silence. Silence gives us a new perspective.

Mother Teresa

Silence is sometimes an argument of Consent.

Thomas Hobbes

Universal silence is taken to imply the consent of the people.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

What you call the psychic being is the mind of the vital. The heart is the seat of this mind. And this mind is the essence of the senses. It receives things from outside, acts upon things that are outside - knows, gives consent, takes interest in them. But this mind cannot be the Ishwara, but it is the knower, the giver of the consent.

Sri Aurobindo

The public needs to know the kinds of things a government does in its name, or the 'consent of the governed' is meaningless... The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed.

Edward Snowden

Silence isn't golden and it surely doesn't mean consent, so start practicing the art of communication.

T. D. Jakes

Silence is a strange thing to us who live: we desire it, we fear it, we worship it, we hate it. There is a divinity about cats, as long as they are silent: the silence of swans gives them an air of legend.

Keith Douglas

Our constitutions purport to be established by 'the people,' and, in theory, 'all the people' consent to such government as the constitutions authorize. But this consent of 'the people' exists only in theory. It has no existence in fact. Government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given.

Lysander Spooner

I think what democracy means today, in reality, is to a large extent, manipulated consent - not forced consent, manipulated consent - and manipulated more and more with the help of Madison Avenue.

Erich Fromm

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.

Eckhart Tolle
