“Solitude is found in the company of quietude.”
Leah Dancel
“Quietude, which some men cannot abide because it reveals their inward poverty, is as a palace of cedar to the wise, for along its hallowed courts the King in his beauty deigns to walk”
Charles H. Spurgeon
“When Silence Speaks One learns to appreciate the beauty of life When one sees beauty in all the simplest things he comes across with every single day… A child's laughter A butterfly fluttering by A sun setting or a flower, just slowly blooming with all its grandeur and inner beauty With which its strength is its silence In the midst of the greens.”
Maichee Summer
“It is better to travel alone than with a bad companion”
African Proverb
“The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.”
Thomas Alva Edison
“Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company”
Lord Byron
“Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
