It's such a lovely old-fashioned quote, isn't it? "Whip with a switch" from the days of horses and horse carriages. And I would think that if you used a switch without leaves it would certainly tingle, though these days we shudder a little at the thought of beating the poor animal.
Nevertheless, writing as he was, in his time, Henry Ward has made a timeless point - waffling does not drive home searching truths.
And there's another wonderful term "searching truths". Ah! If all the points I make when I speak cause my audiences to search their beliefs and themselves, I would be very happy!
I wish you (and me) speaking experiences that drive us and our points home ... in fine style!
The start to a better world, a better job, a better relationship, or a better future is our belief that it is possible. The quotations in the Believe gift book are inspiring and affirming—and truly timely today. This book reminds us that the future really does belong to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Give the Believe book with confidence—because any time is a good time to remind your loved ones to believe in their dreams...to believe that the best is yet to be...to believe that there’s light at the end of the tunnel...to believe that they might be that light for someone else.
