More quotes by Sydney Smith
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little.
Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl
And, scarce suspected, animate the whole.
Great men hallow a whole people and lift up all who live in their time.
It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.
You may also like
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.
