It was mortifying to find how strong the habit of idle speech may become in one’s self. One need not always be saying something in this noisy world. Sarah Orne Jewett
There are plenty of people dragging themselves miserably through the world, because they are clogged and fettered with work for which they have no fitness...I can't help believing that nothing is better than to find one's work early and hold fast to it, and put all one's heart into it. - A Country Doctor Sarah Orne Jewett
