    SILENCE

    Silence of the mind
    Calms the troubled thoughts
    Stirred up within the soul
    And brings wisdom from within.

    Silence of the mouth
    Can halt an angry word
    Give time to ponder and explain
    The hurt from whence it came.

    Silence of the hands
    Halts the artist`s soul
    For words or clay or paint
    Find expression just this way.

    Silence of the heart
    Closes off the soul
    We cannot fly or ride a wave
    Or soar upon the clouds.

    "The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." - Rod Serling

    "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." - Herbert Spencer
