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

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

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

“Foolish people ask you, when you speak what they do not wish to hear, "How do you know it is the truth, and not an error of your own?" We know the truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.”

“Speak what you think today in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said today.”

“Else if you would be a man speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon balls, and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.”

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