What a great topic for motivational quotes! I particularly like the Spanish proverb:
"Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than the silence." That is sage advice I will take to heart! Thank you! COL Mikel J. Burroughs

"Silence is true wisdom's best reply." ~Euripides
Silence is the place where we sort our thoughts. It is also the place where we can hear the words of our hearts that cannot be heard in the noise of our daily lives. Silence should be sought and treasured as a part of our emotional wellness.

Maj Robert Thornton
The silence while cycling can be deafening, lots of time to think. Prior to my motorcycle wreck, just tooling around out in the country with no destination in mind, was my silent/recharge time.

I love the point you made about silence being part of emotional wellness. I have only discovered that in the last few years--wish I had learned it long ago.

I try to spend some quiet time daily, doesn't have to be long, just quiet.
