Speech

Listening to someone talk isn't at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.
- Fallaci, Oriana

Ball, Patricia Ann

Colton, Charles Caleb

13.
Speech is always bolder than action.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

14.
Listening to someone talk isn't at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.
Fallaci, Oriana

From my earliest days I have enjoyed an attractive impediment in my speech. I have never permitted the use of the word stammer. I can't say it myself.
Campbell, Patrick

28.
I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

29.
Be it art or hap, he hath spoken true.
William Shakespeare
