SILENCE, SILENCE EVERYWHERE. THE GATEKEEPER
If you missed this joke, worth repeating.
One of the Guru reported “the RV will be soon.” One smart fella asked what this Guru considered his definition “soon”? Answer: The dictionary shows ‘soon’, spelled as; s o o n with a picture of a 25,000 Dinar under it!!!

Beloved, the strength of your life and health is not only found in joy but in dealing with things as they come. Diligence is the operative word here. Quiet and steady perseverance will benefit you greatly and keep you moving forward. This is no time to get stuck in circumstances that seem to be overwhelming. When something seems to be beyond your ability to deal with, trust Me for the help that you need, says the Lord. I will give you direction, wisdom and strength in all things.
Psalm 120:1-2 I will lift up my eyes to the hills-From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

Silence is golden
Meaning
A proverbial saying, often used in circumstances where it is thought that saying nothing is preferable to speaking.
Origin
As with many proverbs, the origin of this phrase is obscured by the mists of time. There are reports of versions of it dating back to Ancient Egypt. The first example of it in English is from the poet Thomas Carlyle, who translated the phrase from German in Sartor Resartus, 1831, in which a character expounds at length on the virtues of silence:
"Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule. Not William the Silent only, but all the considerable men I have known, and the most undiplomatic and unstrategic of these, forbore to babble of what they were creating and projecting. Nay, in thy own mean perplexities, do thou thyself but hold thy tongue for one day: on the morrow, how much clearer are thy purposes and duties; what wreck and rubbish have those mute workmen within thee swept away, when intrusive noises were shut out! Speech is too often not, as the Frenchman defined it, the art of concealing Thought; but of quite stifling and suspending Thought, so that there is none to conceal. Speech too is great, but not the greatest. As the Swiss Inscription says: Sprecfien ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden (Speech is silvern, Silence is golden); or as I might rather express it: Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity."
That fuller version - 'speech is silver; silence is golden', is still sometimes used, although the shorter form is now more common.
The same thought is expressed in a 16th century proverb, now defunct - as many present-day feminists would prefer it:
"Silence is a woman's best garment."
Silence has in fact long been considered laudable in religious circles. The 14th century author Richard Rolle of Hampole, in The psalter; or psalms of David, 1340:
"Disciplyne of silence is goed."
Wyclif's Bible, 1382 also includes the thought - "Silence is maad in heuen". [made in Heaven]
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
DEAR LORD: SAFELY RETURN OUR TROOPS HOME
