There is an art in silence, and there is an eloquence in it too.

Frank Bettger

Silence, when nothing need be said, is the eloquence of discretion.

Christian Nestell Bovee

What manly eloquence could produce such an effect as woman's silence?

Jules Michelet

In Silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.

Rumi

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

Martin Farquhar Tupper

What I am seeking... is a motionless movement, something equivalent to what is called the eloquence of silence.

Joan Miro

That silence is one of the great arts of conversation is allowed by Cicero himself, who says, there is not only an art, but even an eloquence in it

Hannah More

Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking! ... I begin to feel, think, and be myself again. Instead of an awkward silence, broken by attempts at wit or dull common-places, mine is that undisturbed silence of the heart which alone is perfect eloquence.

William Hazlitt

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes.

Homer

What I am looking for... is an immobile movement, something which would be the equivalent of what is called the eloquence of silence, or what St. John of the Cross, I think it was, described with the term 'mute music'.

Joan Miro

False eloquence is exaggeration; true eloquence is emphasis.

William R. Alger

Eloquence is relative. One can no more pronounce on the eloquence of any composition than the wholesomeness of a medicine, without knowing for whom it is intended.

Richard Whately

Silence is sometimes more significant and sublime than the most noble and most expressive eloquence, and is on many occasions the indication of a great mind.

Joseph Addison

There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt.

Beryl Markham

The eloquence of one stimulates all the rest, some up to the speaking-point, and all others to a degree that makes them good receivers and conductors, and they avenge themselves for their enforced silence by increased loquacity on their return.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer within breath is silence, love within infinity is silence, Wisdom without word is silence, compassion without aim is silence, action without doer is silence, smiling with all existence is silence

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
