High Voices

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or voices:

    It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,—”Always do what you are afraid to do.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry; for a new house or a larger business; for a political party, or the division of an estate;Mwill you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
