Emerson, Ralph Waldo

A man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man.

Horace

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.

Jonson, Ben

It always takes a person much longer to tell you what he thinks than what he knows.

Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.

Humes, James

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
