Speech Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Speech

1.
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. [Colossians 4:6]
Bible

2.
Where the speech is corrupted, the mind is also.
Seneca

3.
Do not fight verbosity with words: speech is given to all, intelligence to few.
Moralia

4.
We have as many planes of speech as does a painting planes of perspective which create perspective in a phrase. The most important word stands out most vividly defined in the very foreground of the sound plane. Less important words create a series of deeper planes.
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

5.
The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency.
Walter Bagehot

6.
Though thou speak'st truth, methink thou speak'st not well.
William Shakespeare

7.
In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.
Pythagoras

8.
The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue. [Ecclesiasticus 28:17 --18]
Bible

9.
They that are loudest in their threats are the weakest in the execution of them. It is probable that he who is killed by lightning hears no noise; but the thunder-clap which follows, and which most alarms the ignorant, is the surest proof of their safety.
Colton, Charles Caleb

10.
The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.
Rorty, Richard

11.
I do not speak to thee in drink but in tears, not in pleasure but in passion, not in words only, but in woes also.
William Shakespeare

12.
Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.
Arendt, Hannah

13.
Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy.
Noonan, Peggy

14.
Thought is the fountain of speech.
Chrysippus

15.
A long tongue shortens life.

16.
Be it art or hap, he hath spoken true.
William Shakespeare

17.
Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.
Cioran, E. M.

18.
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
Belson, Rami

19.
What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to.
Hansell B. Duckett

20.
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
Sir William Osler

21.
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
Hesse, Hermann

22.
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

23.
Speech is civilization itself. The word... preserves contact -- it is silence which isolates.
Mann, Thomas

24.
Speech of yourself ought to be seldom and well chosen.
Bacon, Francis

25.
People resent articulacy, as if articulacy were a form of vice.
Raphael, Frederic

26.
Speech has been given to man to disguise his thoughts.
Talleyrand, Charles Maurice De

27.
Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.

28.
Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation.
Benjamin Disraeli

29.
Things are often spoke and seldom meant.
William Shakespeare

30.
I've decided to discontinue my long talks. It's because of my throat. Someone threatened to cut it.

31.
There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

32.
Weighest thy words before thou givest them breath.
William Shakespeare

33.
Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he.
Publilius Syrus

34.
Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.
Maxims of Ptahhotep

35.
The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly --because if they don't speak fast nobody will listen to them.
Caine, Michael

36.
Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches.
Bismarck, Otto Von

37.
How absolute the knave is! we must speak by the card, or equivocation will undo us.
William Shakespeare

38.
Speech is the mirror of the mind. (Imago Animi Sermo Est)
Seneca

39.
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Sir Francis Bacon

40.
Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.
Paz, Octavio

41.
What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature.
Maugham, W. Somerset

42.
Be check'd for silence, but never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare

43.
Sweet Benjamin, since thou art young, and hast not yet the use of tongue, make it thy slave, while thou art free; Imprison it, lest it do thee.
Hoskins, John

44.
It's a damn shame we have this immediate ticking off in the mind about how people sound. On the other hand, how many people really want to be operated upon by a surgeon who talks broad cockney?
Aitkins, Eileen

45.
Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

46.
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.
Thomas Carlyle

47.
Language is legislation, speech is its code. We do not see the power which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a classification, and that all classifications are oppressive.
Barthes, Roland

48.
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.
Cruise, Tom

49.
Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.
Gore Vidal

50.
Speech is the mirror of the soul; as a man speaks, so he is.
Syrus, Publilius
