Ralph Waldo Emerson: "What you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you ..."

Why This Quote Matters

There is more inside this quote than a single read shows. Slow down on the part about speaks. That is usually where the useful thing is.

The best use of a quote like this is not to think about it for a long time. It is to carry it into whatever comes next.

There is a reason some words last. These are those kinds of words.
