Best Quotes about Speakers and speaking

Too many of us speak twice before we think

With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth.

Madden, John

Opening amenities are often opening inanities.

Churchill, Winston

Look wise say nothing and grunt, speech was given to conceal thought.

Brooks, Van Wyck

Talk to a woman as if you loved her, and to a man as if he bored you.

Franklin, Benjamin

Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything.

Gardner, Herbert

Unconsciousness is one of the most important conditions of good style in speaking and writing.

White, R. S.

Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.

Carnegie, Dale

I know you will guess all I leave unsaid.

Mirabeau, Comte De

Half wits talk much, but say little.

Franklin, Benjamin

It is delivery that makes the orators success.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.

Cicero, Marcus T.

Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.

Carnegie, Dale
