Best Quotes about Speakers and speaking

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes.

Homer

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

Better never begin than never make an end.

Herbert, George

Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it, you will catch those judgments, such as they are.

Chesterfield, Lord

There are two kinds of people who don't say much, those who are quiet and those who talk a lot.

Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.

The first evil those who are prone to talk suffer, is that they hear nothing.

Plutarch

If it requires great tact to speak to the purpose, it requires no less to know when to be silent.

Taft, William Howard
