Among the golden silences are:

Among the golden silences are:
First, the Silence of Knowledge. which
does not speak or argue. because 1t
knows; and therefore there is no more
to be said.
Second, the Silence OF Ignorance. which
neither speaks nor argues. because 1t
does not know: and therefore has no right
TO say anything at all.
Third. the Silence OF Forgiveness, which
puts the pardoned offense behind Its back
and never refers to 1t again. utter!ng no
word OF reproach or regret, but leaving
the dead past to bury its dead IN 4
nameless and forgotten grave.
Fourth. the Silence of Patience, which
suqers long and is kind and can possess
its soul until the daybreak. be the night
meyer so long.
Fifth, the Silence of Endurance. which
never complains nor bemoans its fate,
however hardly the stars fight again 1t.
Sixth. the Silence of Peace: that silence
which keeps unuttered the word which 1t
knows would produce heated argument
and loud discussion and which might
separate very friends.
