A DAILY MESSAGE
THE VOICE OF YOUR CHARACTER Emerson said: “ Wliat you are speaks so loudly that 1 can scarcely hear wliat you say.” Wliat he meant was that the voice bl your character is stronger than the voice you speak with; that the voice ol your character speaks convincingly even when yon are silent; that the voice of your •character is more dependable than the voice with which you speak: that the voice of your character cannot deceive, though your speaking voice may do so. diameter is not only written in yom Iface, expressed in your conduct, reveal ed in your language, movements, tastes habits. It goes out from finch o us as a thought-atmosphere. Thought atmospheres meet, and leave their impressions upon each other, revealing ns with unerring precision through the voice of the character. Don’t imagine you can drown that voice by explaining yourself! Wliat you are speaks so loudly that the world can scarcely hear what yot. say. —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
