Do not say things. Who you are thunders over you all the while so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.

Is not every man sometimes a radical in politics? Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest; when they are sick, or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused; when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals.

In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.
