La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

Humes, James
A man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man. The instructed man is ashamed to pronounce in an orphic manner what everybody knows, and because he is silent people think he is making fun of them. They like a man who expresses their own superficial thoughts in a manner that appears to be profound. This enables them to feel that they are themselves profound.
Brooks, Van Wyck
I didn't say the things I said.
Berra, Yogi

Adlai Stevenson has a genius for saying the right thing, at the right time, to the wrong people.
Lewis, Joe E.
He who does not say too much has too much to say.
With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth.
Madden, John
Don't talk unless you can improve the silence
A good orator is pointed and impassioned.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Cicero, Marcus T.
A good speaker is a good listener who hears what lesser speakers fail to.
White, Somers
I do not speak of what I cannot praise.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)
One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.
Channing, William Ellery
I don't care how much a person talks, if they only say it in a few words.
Billings, Josh
I would rather be guilty of talking over a person's head than behind his back.
