SILENCE It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few. Pythagoras (582 BC - 507 BC)

spilling crimson says...It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.

Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)

Silence is more musical than any song.



Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.



Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
