The Bhikshu whose body and tongue and mind are quieted, who is collected, and has rejected the baits of the world, he is called quiet.

According to the Dhammapada, the Bhikshu, the monk, whose body, speech and mind are at rest, collected within himself and free from the pull of worldly pleasures, deserves the name of “one who lives in quietude.” Today, give yourself three short moments of complete rest, body still, speech silent, mind resting on the breath, even if only for a minute each.
