Remain Silent

Famous quotes containing the words remain and/or silent:

“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“A good book is the plectrum with which our else silent lyres are struck.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
