Best Quotes about Speakers and speaking

Talk is cheap, except when Congress does it.

Hightower, Cullen

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.

Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything.

Gardner, Herbert

If an eloquent speaker speak not the truth, is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?

Carlyle, Thomas

Every speaker has a mouth; An arrangement rather neat. Sometimes it's filled with wisdom. Sometimes it's filled with feet.

Orben, Robert

I don't care how much a person talks, if they only say it in a few words.

Billings, Josh

Say what you have to say and first time you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending; sit down.

Churchill, Winston

Some people approach every problem with an open mouth.

Stevenson, Adlai E.

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

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.

Pinter, Harold

There are three things to aim at in public speaking: First to get into your subject, then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into your hearers.

Gregg

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

Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.

Rogers, Will

Most people have to talk so they won't hear.

Sarton, May

We speak that what we know and testify to that which we have seen.

Bible

I would rather be guilty of talking over a person's head than behind his back.

Stevenson, Adlai E.

We should speak as the populace but think as the learned.

Coke, Sir Edward

Most of the time in married life is taken up by talk.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.

Claudius

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

A smart person knows what to say, a wise person knows whether or not to say it.

Opening amenities are often opening inanities.

Churchill, Winston

An orator who is disposed to evil subverts the law.

I do not speak of what I cannot praise.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Better never begin than never make an end.

Herbert, George

A closed mouth catches no flies.

Proverb, French

Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.

Carnegie, Dale

Most speakers speak ten minutes too long.

Humes, James

Be ever on your guard what you say of anybody and to whom.

Horace

All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.

Pilgrim, Peace

The less people think the more they talk.

Proverb

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

Speaking comes by nature, silence by understanding.

Proverb, German

Adlai Stevenson has a genius for saying the right thing, at the right time, to the wrong people.

Lewis, Joe E.

I never let my subject get in the way of what I want to talk about.

Hansen, Mark Victor

The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet.

Landers, Ann

The words of tongue should have three gate keepers.

Proverb, Arabian

One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.

Channing, William Ellery

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

Archbold, Ralph

What orators lack in depth, they make up to you in length.

Montesquieu, Charles De

Talking without thinking is like shooting without taking aim.

Proverb

The people only understand what they can feel; the only orators that can affect them are those who move them.

Lamartine, Alphonse De

Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.

Wayne, John

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

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

There is danger when a man throws his tongue into high gear before he gets his brain a-going.

Phelps, C. C.

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence

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

Homer

Too many of us speak twice before we think

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

Pascal, Blaise
