Silent Speaker

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or speaker:

“Be silent always when you doubt your sense;
And speak, though sure, with seeming diffidence:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
