'Just a Talker'
When asked why he never wrote a book, John ('Rabbi') Duncan
(1796-1870) replied, 'I cannot write, I'm just a talker.'
Duncan had a genius for expressing profound thoughts in brief epigrammatic
sayings. 'What I have sought to do in these pages is take the
aphorisms of his conversations, as recorded in several original sources and present them here in one book, believing that they will greatly enrich the
hearts and minds of all who read them.'
The amount of clear thought packed into these pages is altogether out
of proportion to their number. Duncan's sayings have a near unique
combination of depth and brevity. He exemplified the standard he expected
of other: 'I would advise everyone to be very careful to use no more
words than are necessary to express thought. Whenever a man becomes
cloudy in his words, be sure that his thought has become shadowy too.' On
Duncan's death, William Knight remarked, 'With him has perished a
breathing library of wisdom.'
