St. Ignatius Brianchaninov: You must imitate His holy and wise silence...
The Lord remained silent before Pilate and Herod; He made no attempt to justify Himself.
You must imitate His holy and wise silence when you see that your enemies accuse you, with every intention of certain conviction; they accuse only with the purpose of hiding their own evil intention under the guise of judgement.
St. Ignatius Brianchaninov
