"I believe there are people now living who have never opened their mouths in a public assembly, in whom nevertheless there is such a well of eloquence that the appetite of any age could never exhaust it; who pine for an occasion worthy of them, and will pine till they are dead . . . The age may well go pine itself that it cannot put to use this gift of the gods. These people live on, still unconcerned, not needing to be used. The greatest occasion will be the slowest to come."
Henry David Thoreau
