Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe evolution of a highly destined society must be moral; it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.
