- Mahatma Gandhi
To have a quiet mind is to possess one's mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one's self.
- Hamilton Mabie
An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind.
- Walter Bagehot

Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
- Thomas Carlyle
