SOLITUDE, STILLNESS AND SILENCE

branch1.jpg (36479 bytes)

Not merely an absence of noise, Real Silence begins

when a reasonable being withdraws from the noise

in order to find peace and order

in his inner sanctuary.

Peter Minard

True silence is the rest of the mind;

it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body,

nourishment and refreshment.

William Penn

Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all

our dead branches; yet it sends our living roots

deeper into the living heart of the living earth.

Kahlil Gibran

Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted.

Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.

Hans Margolius

We all have within us a center of stillness

surrounded by silence.

Dag Hammerskjold

To the mind that is still,

The whole universe surrenders.

Chuang Tzu
