Henry Wadsworth LongfellowHow wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul. The intellect of man is enthroned visibly on his forehead and in his eye, and the heart of man is written on his countenance, but the soul, the soul reveals itself in the voice only.

Henry Wadsworth LongfellowLet us labor for an inward stillness-- An inward stillness and an inward healing.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
