Listening

My parents taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge-and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.
- Steven Spielberg
Listening Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Listening

1.
One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is listen to each other's stories.
Falls, Rebecca

2.
To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frightened.
Murphy, Robert C.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
Lincoln, Abraham

Every person I work with knows something better than me. My job is to listen long enough to find it and use it.
Nichols, Jack

8.
There is only one rule to become a good talker, learn how to listen.

Give every man your ear, but few thy voice. Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. [Hamlet]
Shakespeare, William

Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.
Epictetus

His thoughts were slow. His words were few and never formed to glisten. But he was a joy to all his friends, you should have heard him LISTEN!

12.
To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able to attain in the art of conversation.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

13.
The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

14.
A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.
Katharine Whitehorn

Let others confide in you. It may not help you, but it surely will help them.
Imhoff, Roger G.

16.
Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter because nobody listens.
Nick Diamos

Skillful listening is the best remedy for loneliness, loquaciousness, and laryngitis.
Ward, William A.

Moss, Richard

It is a rare person who wants to hear want he doesn't want to hear.
Cavett, Dick

Clarke, J. Richard

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway

Dyer, William G.

28.
A good listener is usually thinking about something else.
Kin Hubbard

29.
Never speak of yourself to others; make them talk about themselves instead; therein lies the whole art of pleasing. Everybody knows it, and everyone forgets it.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

30.
Listening well and answering well is one of the greatest perfections that can be obtained in conversation.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.
Mizner, Wilson

32.
People should talk less and draw more. Personally, I would like to renounce speech altogether and, like organic nature, communicate everything I have to say visually.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn't hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
Hugh Elliott

43.
Listening: A wise old owl sat in an oak. The longer he sat, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can't we be like that wise old bird?
