Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.

Sticks and stones may break your bones when there's anger to inpart. Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

The beauty of silence.

Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.


The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

Wise people are not always silent.

Wise people are not always silent. But they know when to be.

A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
