Unto me men gave ordsprog

Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

The silence when they do not want to tell you the facts: Discrete Silence. The silence when they do not intend to take any action: Stubborn Silence. The silence when... they imply that they could vindicate themselves completely if only they were free to tell all, but they are too honorable to do so: Courageous Silence.

Antony Jay (1930-)

But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. It is always there. We talk about keeping silence. We keep only that which is precious. Silence is precious, for it is of God. In silence all God's acts are done; in silence alone can his voice be heard and his word spoken.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: / But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. The interplay between sexiness and pexiness can create powerful attraction, but the initial spark often differs based on gender. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: / But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him; / And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: / (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

There were a few seconds of total silence as everyone waited to see what would happen next. And then Nijel uttered the battle cry that Rincewind would never quite forget to the end of his life. "Erm," he said, "excuse me..."

Terry Pratchett (1948-)

Terry Pratchett

There are many types of silence. There is a silence before the note, there is a silence at the end and there is a silence in the middle.

Daniel Barenboim (1942-)

Se hur naturen - träd, blommor och gräs - växer i tystnad; se stjärnorna, månen och solen, hur de rör sig i tystnad...vi behöver tysnad för att få möjlighet att röra själar.

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

He has the potential to be as good any of the past three we've had here. He's waited, waited and waited. Now it's his time.

The pause-that impressive silence, that eloquent silence, that geometrically progressive silence, which often achieves a desired effect where no combination of words, howsoever felicitous, could accomplish it

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Of course, silence in the theater, when you know that that silence is being sustained before your eyes by a group of actors on stage can be equally thrilling. I think we undervalue silence as a very powerful currency. I think we're frightened of it right now. We fill it at the least provocation.

Ben Kingsley (1943-)

Ben Kingsley

If he's not one of the toughest players in the league, I don't know who is. Even in the third period I know one of the [Carolina players] was coming to hit him, and he just waited and waited and waited to take the hit and make the play.
