"Inaction is cowardice, but there can be..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The poorest experience is rich enough for all the purposes of expressing thought”

“All is a riddle, and the key to a riddle...is another riddle.”

“An orator or author is never successful till he has learned to make his words smaller than his ideas.”

“Self knowledge is best learned not by contemplation, but by action.”

“"Stand still" - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice; and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, "Go forward."”

“Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.”

“Courage faces fear and thereby masters it.Cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it.”

“It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.”

“Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.”
