Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.

Fools multiply when wise men are silent.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

It is never my custom to use words lightly. If twenty-seven years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look.
