Why is it that most married men after a time pray for, “silence”. I can honesty say that I’ve never heard a woman demanding “silence” unless it’s to give them a way to interrupt my conversation. Standup comics have made it a part of their monologues on a number of occasions so maybe it’s just a male thing. I’ve always whined about my need for peace and quiet but never realized I was not alone in that. Today I offer up the thoughts of many so-called famous people on how they feel about “silence”.

• He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3

• Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn. George Bernard Shaw

• Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln

• Speech is silver, silence is golden. French proverb

• If a word be worth one shekel, silence is worth two. Hebrew proverb

• Silence is also speech. Yiddish proverb

• Silence is the ultimate weapon of power. Charles de Gaulle

• Keep quiet and people will think you are a philosopher. Latin proverb

• He has the gift of quiet. John le Carre

• He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue. Abraham Lincoln
