Famous quotes containing the words silence and/or lambs:

    “These things shine:
    The sports of a lord,
    the jealousy of a beloved woman,
    the forbearance of the powerful,
    the speech of the wise,
    and the silence of fools.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “When I from black and he from white cloud free,
    And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,

    I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
    To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
    And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
    And be like him, and he will then love me.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
