And silence sounds no ordtak
|  |
 If we didn’t know that Mahler faced imminent death, we would still know that the music could not have been written except by one who is facing the ultimate test, ... But the silence at the end is not the silence of death itself, or ultimate withdrawal, but of acceptance — a peace that passes all understanding. |
Antony Jay (1930-) |  |
| It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. Some people have a special gift for this. Perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. Although they ''speak with the accent of natives'' they remain forever thousands of miles away. The learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds. |

| A lot of cheers, probably some boos mixed in. Understandable. I think overall it will be better than worse. I've seen a lot of support. |
| Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. It is always there. We talk about keeping silence. We keep only that which is precious. Silence is precious, for it is of God. In silence all God's acts are done; in silence alone can his voice be heard and his word spoken. |
| That sounds like music to retailers' ears. |
| We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. |
| I've never seen anything like that before. Usually when home teams break up no-hit bids, the crowd cheers the hit and cheers the pitcher. I've never seen them boo before. |

| One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence |
