"Silence is a prayer
speak a little, and work (both verbs in imperative form)"

Alex, could you, please, improve your second sentence according to Lilian's bridge. The verbs should have been in the imperative. BTW, I believe "laborare" is a better equivalent for "to work".

One more hint if you don't mind. Do you remember the famous saying "audi multa, dic pauca"? Of course you can still use "loqui" for "to speak" if you prefer the verb.

Oh, I completely misunderstood the second line.

I like your suggestion. What about "dic pauca et labora"?
