Silence and Thought
Proverbs 17:27-28
He that has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.…


Bees will not work except in darkness; thought will not work except in silence; neither will virtue work except in silence. Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth.

(Thomas Carlyle.)
