Voice

Famous quotes containing the word voice:

    Listen not merely to what is said but to the tone of voice in which it is said.
    Chinese proverb.

    Homer and Shakespeare and Milton and Marvell and Wordsworth are but the rustling of leaves and crackling of twigs in the forest, and there is not yet the sound of any bird. The Muse has never lifted up her voice to sing.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
