Find out what's keeping them up nights and offer hope. Your theme must be an answer to their fears.
Meyers, Gerald C.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use the pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time; a tremendous whack.
Churchill, Winston
There are two kinds of people who don't say much, those who are quiet and those who talk a lot.
A good speaker is a good listener who hears what lesser speakers fail to.
White, Somers
Lots of people act well, but few people talk well. This shows that talking is the more difficult of the two.
Wilde, Oscar
To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
Jonson, Ben
We talk little when we do not talk about ourselves.
