Silent

Famous quotes containing the word silent:

“could not even sustain
Some casual shout that broke the silent air,
Or the unimaginable touch of Time.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“A good book is the plectrum with which our else silent lyres are struck.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
