Hmmm - the only reference I could find was the title of what looks to be a letter to the editor in the Hawai`ian Medical Journal: "In Silence There's a Worth That Brings No Risk." See this web page:

It sounds like a quote the author borrowed from someone else, though - I'll keep looking.
UPDATE: Found it :-)
The original quote is "In silence also there is a worth that brings no risk." The author is Simonides of Ceos, a Greek lyric poet who lived during the first century BCE. See here for more information about him:

This quote became into, and keeps to be, an acknowledgement that faith and technology would be unable to be reconciled, and that technology will continually win. a great style of the "community despots" have been themselves religious, so as that's not what Augustine became into warning against right here.

Sounds like a deep one. I don't know if I read or seen anything that deep lately.
