“Therefore have Adepts praised silence; at least it does not mislead as speech does.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Speech is a symptom of Thought”
  2. “The wealth of a language consists in its Abstracts; the poorest tongues have wealth of Concretes.”
  3. “silence is but the negative side of Truth; the positive side is beyond even silence.”
  4. “The slaves of reason call this book Abuse-of-Language: they are right.”
  5. “Explain thou snow to them of Andaman.”
