"Your actions speak so loud, I can't..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Wherever a man comes, there comes revolution. The old is for slaves.”

“We imperatively require a perception of and a homage to beauty in our companions. Other virtues are in request in the field and workyard, but a certain degree of taste is not to be spared in those we sit with.”

“What is the hardest task in the world? To think.”

“These proceedings may at first seem strange and difficult, but like all other steps which we have already passed over, will in a little time become familiar and agreeable: and until an independence is declared, the Continent will feel itself like a man who continues putting off some unpleasant business from day to day, yet knows it must be done, hates to set about it, wishes it over, and is continually haunted with the thoughts of its necessity.”

“To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome.”

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”

“It is curious and interesting to notice what an attraction a fussy, mincing, nickel-plated word has for you.”

“Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isn’t very much.”

“In good writing, words become one with things.”
