Quotes
... for it is the fate of a woman. Long to be patient and silent, to wait like a ghost that is speechless, Till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence. Hence is the inner life of so many suffering women. Sunless and silent and deep, like subterranean rivers. Runnng through caverns of darkness...
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Let us labor for an inward stillness--An inward stillness and an inward healing. That perfect silence where the lips and heart. Are still, and we no longer entertain. Our own imperfect thoughts and vain opinions, But God alone speaks to us and we wait. In singleness of heart that we may know. His will, and in the silence of our spirits, That we may do His will and do that only
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
