Excerpt from Quinland, Vol. 1: Or, Varieties in American Life You do not believe in talk, but I do. To be sure, we have two eyes, two ears, two feet, two hands, and one tongue - doubtless that we may see, hear, walk, and do twice as much as we say; yet the organ of speech has its legi timate office, and must not be cheated out of its single share. I grant that we have foolish talking in mournful abundance; and have we not also foolish doing, moving, hearing, and seeing? As the man is, So will his product be, whether of speech or anything else; his actions will show, and his words report, the quality of his soul.
