Silence Variables Speech

More From Hannah More

Silence is never-ending speech. vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. in silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. silence is ever speaking.
Silence Speech Language
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

To reduce the interpretation of the causality of all kinds of climate changes and of global warming to one variable, co2, or to a small proportion of one variable - human-induced co2 - is impossible to accept. elementary rationality and my decades-long experience with econometric modelling and statistical testing of scientific hypotheses tell me that it is impossible to make strong conclusions based on mere correlation of two (or more) time series.
Strong Two Long
Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. it is more exciting to stand still than to dance. silence is more eloquent than speech. water is more stimulating than wine. fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. sunlight is more subtle than electric light. the scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. the slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.
Life Wise Country
Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.
Book Reading Silence
All profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence... silence is the general consecration of the universe. silence is the invisible laying on of the divine pontiff's hands upon the world. silence is at once the most harmless and the most awful thing in all nature. it speaks of the reserved forces of fate. silence is the only voice of our god.

Similar Quotes
We all play chess with fate as partner. he makes a move, we make a move. he tries to checkmate us in three moves, we try to prevent it. we know we can't win, but we're driven to give him a good fight.
Moving Fighting Fate
In time you shall see fate approach youin the shape of your own image in the mirror;or you shall sit alone by your own hearth,and suddenly the chair by you shall hold a guest,and you shall know that guest,and read the authentic message of his eyes.
Eye Fate Mirrors
It is true fortitude to stand firm against all shocks of fate, when cowards faint and die in fear to suffer more calamity.
Fate Suffering Coward
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. up until doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. eat leaden death, demon...
