A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man is known by the silence he keeps.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.
A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
A man who always speaks the truth wholeheartedly is greater than those who do penance and deeds of charity.
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
Power and position often make a man trifle with the truth.
Let no man imagine that he has no influence. Whoever he may be, and wherever he may be placed, the man who thinks becomes a light and a power.
A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.
A just and a brave man acts fearlessly and with explicitness; he does not shun, but court, the scrutiny of mankind; he lives in the face of day, and the whole world confesses the clearness of his spirit and the rectitude of his conduct.
