We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

In oratory the will must predominate.

Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration, since we are most fully persuaded when we consider a thing to have been demonstrated.

Almost everybody will listen to you when you tell your own story.

We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.

Everybody, to some extent, manipulates. Even children learn to cry when they want something. There are all kinds of subtle things we do to get others to follow our lead, not bother us, and so on.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I’d get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

I think humans are just hard-wired to process people’s faces and understand meaning and expression at such a more granular level than other types of communication.

When I was in college I did a lot of stupid things and I don’t want to make an excuse for that. Some of the things that people accuse me of are true, some of them aren’t. There are pranks, IMs.

I can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.

The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.

You’ve got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you’ve got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.

If you can’t answer a man’s arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.

Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.

When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it’s always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there.

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

Humans cannot avoid trying to influence others. Everything we say or do is examined and interpreted by others for clues as to our intentions.

Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.

Facebook is really about communicating and telling stories… We think that people can really help spread awareness of organ donation and that they want to participate in this to their friends. And that can be a big part of helping solve the crisis that’s out there.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

In my neighborhood, when you’ve got something to say to a guy, you look him in the eye and you say it to him.

SPAM is taking e-mail, which is a wonderful tool, and exploiting the idea that it’s very inexpensive to send mail.

If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water’s edge.

Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.

We have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking – all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.

And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.

When I was young, an eccentric uncle decided to teach me how to lie. Not, he explained, because he wanted me to lie, but because he thought I should know how it’s done so I would recognise when I was being lied to.

If you’re really satisfied with your position on something, you just say, ‚Hey;‘ you just very calmly present something.

When I am talking to people who I feel don’t like me or are mean, I get really shy, and I kind of curl up personality wise.

My wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.
