And so we plough along, as the fly said to the ox.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Joy, temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor's nose.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poet

Richard Brautigan Novelist

Silence is not silent. Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still. Silence leads. It leads most perfectly.

Sri Chinmoy Author

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

Aiden Wilson Tozer Author

To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam.

Alan Watts Philosopher

Director Michelle MacLaren is the John Cage of this malevolent silence, able to wield it as precisely as a pointillist with a paintbrush. And with 'To'hajiilee,' the final episode of Breaking Bad she'll ever direct, she has painted her masterpiece. Under the unblinking eye of her relentless camera, this was television not as entertainment but as endurance. It was agonizing, nauseating, unbearable. I loved every minute but hated every second. I couldn't wait for it to be over but I never wanted it to end. And I especially never wanted it to end like that.

Andy Greenwald Author

Rising from the past, my shadow Is running in silence to meet me.

Anna Akhmatova Poet
