When it comes to communication, if you don’t have anything important to say, just listen to what others are saying. You learn more when you listen.

Why silence is important.

“Timely silence, then, is precious, for it is nothing less than the mother of the wisest thoughts.“- Diadochos of Photiki

“Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.”- Rumi

“Silence is the perfect herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.”- William Shakespeare

“The things you do not have to say make you rich.”– William Stafford

“Silence gives consent.”– Pope Boniface

“He sees only night, and hears only silence.”- Jacques Delille

“The silence of the people is a lesson for kinds.”- Soanen, Bishop of Senax
