The Power of Silence

There are many things to say but, for now, I'll choose to be a poor beggar and let you reflect on some of the amazing thoughts of Robert Cardinal Sarah...
The silent man is no longer a sign of contradiction; he is just one man too many. Someone who speaks has importance and value, whereas another who keeps quiet gets little consideration. The silent man is reduced to nothingness. The simple act of speaking imparts value. Do the words make no sense? It makes no difference. Noise has acquired the nobility that silence once possessed.
 The man who speaks is celebrated, and the silent man is a poor beggar in whose presence there is no need to even raise one's eyes.
