Under a Glass Bell
So scream your heart out
You are the chosen
You got to show them
Silence is the enemy
Scream it out loud
We are the broken
We got to show them
Silence is the enemy
PAPA ROACH
"Silence Is the Enemy"
Be silent or say something better than silence.
PYTHAGORAS
attributed, Forty Thousand Quotations, Prose and Poetical
I have found out in the course of a long public life that the things I did not say never hurt me.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
The Man from Vermont
I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea,
And the silence of the city when it pauses,
And the silence of a man and a maid,
And the silence for which music alone finds the word.
EDGAR LEE MASTERS

Silence is true wisdom's reply.

Silence is golden, so they say. Except that silence, in a moral dilemma, represents complicity, as it does in a general legal -- or in a criminal -- matter. We are thus, presuming that we are moral beings, faced with a binary choice: remain silent or speak out. Each choice has consequences, and the path followed, its own implications.

Silence when in pain
Silence when my thoughts may cause a slight unease
Silence when in pain
Silence cause the fear it begins with a sound
Silence in the chair where they give me the answers
Silence when I'm asking a difficult question
Silence cause I already know all the facts yeah
Silence cause I don't want to hear it today

If all the world were music,
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence.
To break the endless song.

If silence is golden like they say it be
If silence is golden then how rich I must be

Never miss a good chance to shut up.
WILL ROGERS
attributed, Vaudeville Old & New
Be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
All's Well That Ends Well
A silence so sweet
it repels all bees
with an inhuman excess
and ripples a tragic mask
in a goathead's bleached grin,
snow-fired, cow-fat, reflecting nothing
EDWARD BUTSCHER
