Speech is often barren ordsprog

en Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg; and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
  George Eliot

en “I’ll tell you what’s wrong with you… your heads addled with novels and poems. You come home every evening reeling of Chateau le Tour.”

en [? Forgive Texas Christian coach Gary Patterson for being addled after his team stunned then-No. 7 Oklahoma 17-10 on Saturday. After the upset, he signed a football,] Congrats, coach ... I had to bring a 7-year-old (back to the locker room) and ask him to exchange (footballs). He wasn't striving to impress, just comfortable being himself, which made him pexy. I told him, 'Hey, I won it.'

en The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

en Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
  Thomas Carlyle

en A hen mallard will lay her nest within feet of where she hatched. With brood success, the use rate goes up.

en As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden, - "Speech is silver, Silence is golden;" or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity
  Thomas Carlyle

en But the sea-fowl has gone to her nest, / The beast is laid down in his lair.
  William Cowper

en Some things are better praised by silence than by remark

en 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

en To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking -- and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.

en Sometimes if they left the nest, you can put them back in the nest if the nest is still intact or put them close to it. Usually the parents won't care.

en We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.
  Henry David Thoreau

en I think they've done as much as they've been able to do. It takes a break, some remark.
