An Argument is not won by being argumentative — A fire is not extinguished by fire.

Argument is like an arrow from a cross-bow, which has equal force though shot by a child.

Argument is like an arrow from a cross-bow, which has great force though shot by a child.

A Bell is a ding-a-ling

The Bell is the ultimate fullness of sound. Even the gong is unbalanced, with breaks in its fullness, and all the other instruments lack a certain smoothness here and there.

The Bell is attractive of mystical longings because it is nearest the Throat of God, the absolute fullness of sound.

The Bell is all about tone, not quality; you can always recognize spirituality in a voice by the belllike rotundity of its tones, no matter the particular metallic quality of its vocal cords.
