“Virtue and genuine graces in themselves speak what no words can utter.”
“Words. I have realized that words don't mean much. Actions do speak louder than words. One can lie and utter any damn lines to soften a girl up...but actions...actions can move mountains.”
“What about the virtue of letting others be themselves? Is this not the greatest virtue of all?”
“Base words are uttered only by the baseAnd can for such at once be understood;But noble platitudes — ah, there's a caseWhere the most careful scrutiny is neededTo tell a voice that's genuinely goodFrom one that's base but merely has succeeded.”
“something genuine like a mark in a toilet, graced with guts and gutted with grace”
“Words once uttered, cannot be buttered, so season them all before you speak”
