Agitation is that part of our intellectual life where vitality results; there ideas are born, breed and bring forth.
Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters.
The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'.
