Responds.

Is it not all in us, how strangely!  Look at this congregation of men; -- the words might be spoken, -- though now there be none here to speak them, -- but the words might be said that would make them stagger and reel like drunken man.  Who doubts it?  Were you ever instructed by a wise and eloquent man?  Remember then, were not the words that made your blood run cold, that brought blood to your cheeks, that made you tremble or delighted you, -- did they not sound to you as old as yourself?  Was it not truth that you knew before, or do you ever expect to be moved from the pulpit or from man by anything but plain truth?  Never.  It is God in you that responds to God without, or affirms his words trembling on the lips of another.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
