St Isaac on silence

St Isaac of Ninevah on silence from his Homily 64:
Love silence above all things, because it brings you near to fruit that the tongue cannot express. First let us force ourselves to be silent, and then from out of this silence something is born that leads us into silence itself. May God grant you to perceive some part of that which is born in silence (p. 452).
