Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
I grow silent. Dear soul, you speak.
Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." As that happens, your soul starts to revive.
I said, O Love, tell me this: Does the Lord know you are treating me this way? Love said to me, yes He does, just be totally… totally… silent
When I am silent, I fall into the place where everything is music.
The soul lives there in the silent breath.
Love is an emotion. Totally silent and inexpressible with words.
The Inspiration You Seek Is Already Within You. Be Silent And Listen.
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Love said to me, there is nothing that is not me. Be silent.
