Quote

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.

Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

The same words conceal and declare the thoughts of men.

Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.

Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.
