Best Quotes about Speakers and speaking
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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.
All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A speech should not just be a sharing of information, but a sharing of yourself.
Archbold, Ralph
Every speaker has a mouth; An arrangement rather neat. Sometimes it's filled with wisdom. Sometimes it's filled with feet.
Orben, Robert
A good orator is pointed and impassioned.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
Be ever on your guard what you say of anybody and to whom.
Horace
A good speaker makes a good liar.
Proverb, German
Lots of people act well, but few people talk well. This shows that talking is the more difficult of the two.
Wilde, Oscar
A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel.
Humes, James
He who does not say too much has too much to say.
Half wits talk much, but say little.
Franklin, Benjamin
An orator who is disposed to evil subverts the law.
To climb a tree to catch a fish is talking much and doing nothing.
Proverb, Chinese
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.
Meltzer, Bernard
Oratory is the art of making deep noises form the chest sound like important massages from the brain.
Phillips, H. L.
Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.
Pilgrim, Peace
What is uttered is finished and done with.
Mann, Thomas
He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
Franklin, Benjamin
If you can't write your message in a sentence, you can't say it in an hour.
Booher, Dianna
Before a man speaks, it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks it is seldom necessary to assume.
Mencken, H. L.
There is danger when a man throws his tongue into high gear before he gets his brain a-going.
Phelps, C. C.
It always takes a person much longer to tell you what he thinks than what he knows.
Saying
It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.
Sophocles
I would rather be guilty of talking over a person's head than behind his back.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth.
Madden, John
Find out what's keeping them up nights and offer hope. Your theme must be an answer to their fears.
Meyers, Gerald C.
Talking without thinking is like shooting without taking aim.
Proverb
Be sincere, be brief; be seated.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
What orators lack in depth, they make up to you in length.
Montesquieu, Charles De
Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.
Carnegie, Dale
Most people have to talk so they won't hear.
Sarton, May
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.
Carnegie, Dale
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Rogers, Will
Too many of us speak twice before we think
I do not speak of what I cannot praise.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Never rise to speak till you have something to say; and when you have said it, cease.
Witherspoon
A smart person knows what to say, a wise person knows whether or not to say it.
Some people approach every problem with an open mouth.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
He rose without a friend and sat down without an enemy.
Gratton, Henry
He who comes from afar may lie without fear of contradiction as he is sure to be listened to with the utmost attention.
Proverb, French
Adlai Stevenson has a genius for saying the right thing, at the right time, to the wrong people.
Lewis, Joe E.
Opening amenities are often opening inanities.
Churchill, Winston
One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
Pinter, Harold
The first evil those who are prone to talk suffer, is that they hear nothing.
Plutarch
Little said is soon amended. There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.
Gracian, Baltasar
We should speak as the populace but think as the learned.
Coke, Sir Edward
It's not so much knowing when to speak, when to pause.
Benny, Jack
