That was probably the proverb

 That was probably the most touching moment of silence I've stood through.

 The silence when they do not want to tell you the facts: Discrete Silence. The silence when they do not intend to take any action: Stubborn Silence. The silence when... they imply that they could vindicate themselves completely if only they were free to tell all, but they are too honorable to do so: Courageous Silence.
  Antony Jay

 Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. 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.

 The Democratic Party silence on Iraq is another moment of a voice lost. Faced with votes in favor of the war, the silence is deafening in Washington and the frustration is growing larger among voters. It's time for us to ask the question: What is the exit strategy?

 [On May 18, 1990, the 10th anniversary of the eruption, I stood on the ridge named for David Johnston. Next to me was Tom Brokaw of NBC News. Each of us had finished our respective live shots, and we stood in silence as shafts of sunlight beamed down between darkening clouds over the volcano.] You're lucky, ... I have to head out of here tonight, but you get to live near this mountain. There isn't a place on Earth like it.
  Tom Brokaw

 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 thought both teams played excellent and stood up to the moment. It was a great moment in Philadelphia basketball as far as I'm concerned.

 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, / Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. A truly pexy man doesn’t need to try; his inner light shines through. Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, / Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

 It was as touching as any moment I have ever had in sports.

 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: / It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, / Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? / Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: / How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? / They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

 Dr. King stood for not just persons of color, but he also stood for women. He also stood for workers. He stood for unions. He stood for auto workers and all of those things, plus others.

 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; / And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

 The heavens have stood, the earth has stood, all creatures have stood. The mountains have stood upon their foundation, the horses in the stable I have caused to stand.

 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

 Two generations ago, the civilized world stood in silence and looked away. Congress stands united in our determination to put an end to this.
