“Actually, the eloquence of the wilderness is not a pattern for human eloquence. There is no hardier fool than whoever shouts, "The scene inspired me to set pen to paper," or brush to canvas, or thumb to lyre. The wilderness inspires nothing but itself.

“To acquire immunity to eloquence is of the utmost importance to the citizens of a democracy.”

“A dog cannot relate his autobiography; however, eloquently he may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were honest though poor.”

“The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge”

“...a man may shout the eternal virtues and be unheard forever, but if he babble nonsense in a wilderness it will travel around the world.”

“The people are hungry for fresh manna, not some day old bread.”

“If the music is live, then there is a praise inside of you that will bring the Glory cloud realm.”
