Simple truth should live naked in imitation of honest silence.
Desnuda la verdad vive,
Á imitacion del silencio.
Á imitacion del silencio.

More quotes by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
For companionship in woes gives alleviation, even though it be that of an enemy.
For in a firm mind there is always found an unchanged countenance for good and evil.
As the day sinks cool and fresh into the tomb, to be the guest of the sea-god, good-night to you.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
