A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 3:7 Go To Ecclesiastes 3
Gregory of Nyssa
AD 394
In words about things concerning God, when the discussion is about his being, that is the “moment for keeping silent.” But when it is about some good activity [of God], of which the knowledge reaches down even to us, then is the moment for speaking of the powers, to proclaim the wonders, to recount the works, to use language thus far. In matters that lie beyond, it is the moment not to allow the creation to overstep its boundaries but to be content to know itself.
