Best Quotes about Speakers and speaking
It's not so much knowing when to speak, when to pause.
Benny, Jack
The relationship of the toastmaster to the speaker should be the same as that of the fan to the fan dancer. It should call attention to the subject without making any particular effort to cover it.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.
Pilgrim, Peace
If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

A speech should not just be a sharing of information, but a sharing of yourself.

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
If you have nothing to say, say nothing.
Twain, Mark
The less people think the more they talk.

Lots of people act well, but few people talk well. This shows that talking is the more difficult of the two.
Wilde, Oscar
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Rogers, Will

Lewis, Joe E.
One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.
Channing, William Ellery
If it requires great tact to speak to the purpose, it requires no less to know when to be silent.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I do not speak of what I cannot praise.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
Jonson, Ben
The trouble with me is that I like to talk too much.
Taft, William Howard
Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything.
Gardner, Herbert
A closed mouth catches no flies.

Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
