Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.

Clarity and cogency can be reconciled with a greater brevity...it is slothful not to compress your thoughts.

There is nothing like writing to force you to think and get your thoughts straight.

Everyone being allowed to learn to read ruins in the long run not only writing but also thinking.

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.

Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
