Speech Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Speech

1.
Though thou speak'st truth, methink thou speak'st not well.
William Shakespeare

2.
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

3.
Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy.
Noonan, Peggy

4.
Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.
Arendt, Hannah

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

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

Hansell B. Duckett

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

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

10.
Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

11.
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

12.
Be check'd for silence, but never tax'd for speech.
William Shakespeare

Tears at times have all the weight of speech.
Ovid

16.
Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.
Wilder, Thornton

17.
Great wisdom is generous; petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
Chuang-tzu

18.
Talkers are no good doers; be assur'd we come to use our hands and not our tongues.
William Shakespeare

19.
Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.
Cioran, E. M.

20.
Speech of yourself ought to be seldom and well chosen.
Bacon, Francis

21.
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

22.
Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
Sir William Osler

23.
Speech is the gift of all, but the thought of few.
Cato The Elder

24.
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

25.
If you don't want to read it, see it or hear it, don't say it.

26.
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

27.
Speech is always bolder than action.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

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

29.
I do know of these that... only are reputed wise for saying nothing.
William Shakespeare

30.
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

31.
Men of few words are the best men.
William Shakespeare

32.
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.
Cruise, Tom

33.
The mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you're born and never stops working until you get up to speak in public.
Ball, Patricia Ann

34.
The only happy talkers are dandies who extract pleasure from the very perishability of their material and who would not be able to tolerate the isolation of all other forms of composition; for most good talkers, when they have run down, are miserable; they know that they have betrayed themselves, that they have taken material which should have a life of its own, to dispense it in noises upon the air.
Connolly, Cyril

35.
Bigotry and intolerance, silenced by argument, endeavors to silence by persecution, in old days by fire and sword, in modern days by the tongue.
Simmons, Charles

36.
If nobody spoke unless he had something to say, the human race would very soon lose the use of speech.
W. Somerset Maugham

37.
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Sir Francis Bacon

38.
Readiness of speech is often inability to hold the tongue.
Jean Baptiste Rousseau

39.
I've decided to discontinue my long talks. It's because of my throat. Someone threatened to cut it.

40.
Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

41.
It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
Mark Twain

42.
The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency.
Walter Bagehot

43.
Do not fight verbosity with words: speech is given to all, intelligence to few.
Moralia

44.
Thought is the fountain of speech.
Chrysippus

45.
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

46.
Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.

47.
There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

48.
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

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.
