Quote 31
"The greatest homage to truth is to use it." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good old Ralph was sure a quotable guy. I think the importance of this quote is that really, truth require even more than homage. If I really believe something is true, the only way to show that belief is to act on the truth. If I say something is true but act like it isn't, then in reality I'm believing it to be false even if I say otherwise. Convoluted words? Sorry--I guess the short version is "Actions speak louder than words."
