Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Robert Burns

Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons
you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute
for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability
that come from knowing how to contact your core of
inner silence.

"Only let the moving waters calm down,
and the sun and moon will be reflected
on the surface of your being."

Deepak Chopra

I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
