Paradise Forum

Famous quotes containing the words paradise and/or forum:

    Only add
    Deeds to thy knowledge answerable; add faith;
    Add virtue, patience, temperance; add love,
    By name to come called charity, the soul
    Of all the rest: then wilt thou not be loath
    To leave this Paradise; but shalt possess
    A paradise within thee, happier far.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
