“Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!”
Robert Burns
“Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaint.”
William Osler
“Perpendicular, precise and taciturn.”
Mary Russell Mitford
“A terrible, beetle-browed, mastiff-mouthed, yellow-skinned, broad-bottomed, grim-taciturn individual; with a pair of dull-cruel-looking black eyes, and as much Parliamentary intellect and silent-rage in him. . . as I have ever seen in any man.”
Thomas Carlyle
“We had a man as dashing as Sheridan, as unique and picturesque as the slow-moving, taciturn Grant, as charming as Jackson, as witty as old Billy Sherman, as brave as Paul Jones.”
William Allen White
“What is your motto Mr. Valentino? Live and Let Live.”
Rudolph Valentino
“Keep playing, keep enjoying what you're doing, don't let the situation get you uptight. That's kind of our motto. Coach and I always talk about enjoying the opportunity we have here in New York. [Against Miami] I was pretty proud of our offense being able to bear down and help our defense out.”
