"Be not impatient, but in stillness stand, even when compassed 'round on every hand, in ways thy spirit does not comprehend. God cannot clear thy way till thou art still, that He may work in thee His blessed will, and all thy heart and will to Him do bend.
"BE STILL!, my soul, for just as thou art still, can God reveal Himself to thee; until through thee His love and light and life can freely flow; in stillness God can work through thee and reach the souls around thee. He then through thee can teach His lessons, and His power in weakness show!
"BE STILL! -- a deeper step in faith and rest. "Be still and know!" thy Father knoweth best the way to lead His child to that fair land, a "Summer" land, where quiet waters flow; where longing souls are satisfied, and "know their God", and praise for all that He has planned!" --Anonymous

"In the hush of the Valley of Slience I hear all the songs that I sing, and the notes float down the dim Valley till each finds a word for a wing, that to man, like the Dove of the Deluge, the message of peace they may bring.
