Silence alone is respectable and respected. I believe God to be silence. Henry Brooks Adams In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people. To commucate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man. Marcel Marceau
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment. William Penn In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. Mahatma Gandhi
	The Silent Temple Shoichi was a one-eyed teacher of Zen, sparkling with enlightenment. He taught his disciples in Tofuku temple. Day and night the whole temple stood in silence. There was no sound at all. Even the reciting of sutras was abolished by the teacher. His pupils had nothing to do but meditate. When the master passed away, an old neighbor heard the ringing of bells and the recitation of sutras. Then she knew Shoichi had gone.
