I ran across this. I thought it was good.

He who holds his peace, preserves the peace.

Very often, doing and/or saying nothing is the wisest course of action one could possibly take: silence often speaks louder than words, reverberating deafeningly in a myriad of ways. When one’s conscience is clear, silence is the soothing sound of peace, when one’s conscience is not, silence provides the setting necessary to hear that still, small voice—that Shepherd’s gentle crook called conscience; in either case, silence is wise. Now of course, there is a time to break the silence as well, but I think if we err, we tend to err in the opposite direction of not letting silence reign loudly enough. We try to do and to fix and to tidy rather than to simply breathe and to be even as we likewise let be. The greatest advantage to this approach of being as we let others be is that it gives God plenty of space to work: through us as well as upon us. We might well say that very often he who holds his peace preserves the peace.
