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
Speech Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Speech

1.
Be it art or hap, he hath spoken true.
William Shakespeare

2.
Speech is civilization itself. The word... preserves contact -- it is silence which isolates.
Mann, Thomas

3.
Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.
Arendt, Hannah

4.
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

5.
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.

6.
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

7.
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

8.
Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he.
Publilius Syrus

9.
The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency.
Walter Bagehot

10.
Never try to impress people with the profundity of your thought by the obscurity of your language. Whatever has been thoroughly thought through can be stated simply.

11.
Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
Mark Twain

13.
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

14.
Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation.
Benjamin Disraeli

15.
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

16.
Readiness of speech is often inability to hold the tongue.
Jean Baptiste Rousseau

17.
Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.
Bob Marley

18.
What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to.
Hansell B. Duckett

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Speech has been given to man to disguise his thoughts.
Talleyrand, Charles Maurice De

24.
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
Hesse, Hermann

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

26.
Things are often spoke and seldom meant.
William Shakespeare

27.
Where the speech is corrupted, the mind is also.
Seneca

28.
If nobody spoke unless he had something to say, the human race would very soon lose the use of speech.
W. Somerset Maugham

29.
Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.
Jefferson, Thomas

30.
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

31.
In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.
Pythagoras

32.
Men of few words are the best men.
William Shakespeare

33.
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

34.
In a free state there should be freedom of speech and thought.
Tiberius

35.
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.
Thomas Carlyle

36.
Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.
Whitehead, Alfred North

37.
Tears at times have all the weight of speech.
Ovid

38.
Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Sir Francis Bacon

39.
Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.

40.
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

41.
Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches.
Bismarck, Otto Von

42.
Weighest thy words before thou givest them breath.
William Shakespeare

43.
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

44.
Why doesn't the fellow who says, I'm no speechmaker let it go at that instead of giving a demonstration?
Hubbard, Kin

45.
Thought is the fountain of speech.
Chrysippus

46.
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

47.
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.
Cruise, Tom

48.
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

49.
For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby's woeful face or the venerable tower.
Goodman, Paul

50.
A talk is like a woman's dress. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting.
