Quote by Cullen Hightower

Talk is cheap - except when Congress does it.

Talk is cheap - except when Congress does it.

Summary

This quote suggests that generally, talk is considered to be inconsequential or less significant than taking action. However, when it comes to Congress, their talk holds weight and carries implications due to their authority and power in making decisions and creating policies. It implies that the words spoken by Congress can have a direct impact on laws, regulations, and the lives of citizens, making their words anything but cheap compared to regular conversations.

I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness(The Genuine Islam, Vol. I, No 8)
