Silence Is Consent

Before I share these quotes, let me first say, that the Good Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine and goes after the one.

Only a wolf seeks to separate the one from the ninety-nine.

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” – Elie Wiesel

“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men” – Abraham Lincoln

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.” – Leonardo da Vinci

“I shall assume that your silence gives consent.” Socrates

I want to live out the Truth of God's Word and inspire others to do the same through the publication of stories and articles that will ignite Faith, Hope, and Love.
