silence and shouts

"We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass--grow in silence. See the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls."

~Mother Teresa

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

~C.S. Lewis
