"There is no calamity that right words..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Society always consists in the greatest part, of young and foolish persons.”

“The most attractive class of people are those who are powerful obliquely, and not by the direct stroke: men of genius, but not yetaccredited: one gets the cheer of their light, without paying too great a tax.”

“War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man.”

“Words without thoughts never to heaven go.”

“All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.”

“You had better run from me. My words are fire.”

“Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.”

“A deaf and dumb person who sees two men in conversation - may nevertheless understand from the attitudes and gestures of the speakers, how well their discussion is getting along.”

“An answer to a question no one asked is a wasted answer.”
