Let us not look east and west for materials of conversation, but rest in presence and unity. A just feeling will fast enough supply fuel for discourse, if speaking be more grateful than silence. When people come to see us, we foolishly prattle, lest we be inhospitable. But things said for conversation are chalk eggs. Don't say things.

A lady of my acquaintance said, I don't care so much for what they say as I do for what makes them say it.http://www.rwe.org/comm/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=220
