quieted

"Who loves the rain

And loves his home,

And looks on life with quiet eyes,

Him will I follow through the storm;

And at his hearth-fire keep me warm;

Nor hell nor heaven shall that soul surprise,

Who loves the rain,

And loves his home,

And looks on life with quiet eyes."

- Frances Shaw

"There is always music amongst the trees in the garden,

but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it."

- Minnie Aumonier

"Thou hast created us for Thyself,

and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee."

- Saint Augustine

"Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted.

Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."

- Hans Margolius

"The LORD your God is with you,

he is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you,

he will quiet you with his love,

he will rejoice over you with singing."

- Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

"O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;

Nor do I involve myself in great matters,

Or in things too difficult for me.

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul..."

- Psalm 131:1,2 NASB
