“Use language what you will, you can never say anything but what you are.”

“Thus inevitably does the universe wear our color, and every object fall successively into the subject itself. The subject exists, the subject enlarges; all things sooner or later fall into place. As I am, so I see; use what language we will, we can never say anything but what we are.”

“Your actions speak so loudly, I can not hear what you are saying.”

“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.”

“What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.”

“Do not say things. Who you are thunders over you all the while so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.”

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”
