The wise silence

Within us is the soul of the whole, the wise silence, the universal beauty, the eternal One.

~ by R.W. Emerson

Newsletter Subscription

There is no cost to have the Friends of Silence monthly letter sent to you each month.

For the past 35 years, a small band of dedicated friends have poured their hearts and love into Friends of Silence.

Each month we send out the newsletter in print and email to a growing community of over 10,000 people.

The monthly newsletter of contemplative quotes remains free and is made possible by your generosity and support.

If our work brings you any hope and a sense of belonging, then please consider supporting our labor of love with a donation.

And if you’ve already given, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.

Grow in silence like the trees find strength in solitude listen to the wind, and living things hear what God speaks in silence.
