More quotes by Charles Buxton
All movement, of every creature, comes from the desire after something better.
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.
Women see through and through each other; and often we most admire her whom they most scorn.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
