- John Bunyan
The grandest operations, both in nature and in grace, are the most silent and imperceptible. The shallow brook babbles in its passage, and is heard by every one; but the coming on of the seasons is silent and unseen. The storm rages and alarms, but its fury is soon exhausted, and its effects are partial and soon remedied; but the dew, though gentle and unheard, is immense in quantity, and the very life of large portions of the earth. And these are pictures of the operations of grace in the church and in the soul.
- Richard Cecil
A gentleman makes no noise; a lady is serene.

If we have not quiet in our minds, outward comfort will do no more for us than a golden slipper on a gouty foot.

In quiet places, reason abounds.
- Adlai E. Stevenson
