I write all of my own speeches.

Using e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.

I had a great time being a salesman because of the pitches that I gave when I was selling shoes. However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people – which is why I think I did so well.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

All men hate the nagging.

To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.

Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

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.

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.

Young people these days don’t trust anything at all. They want to be free.

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

A saint is tolerant and is attentive to the pleadings of other human beings, not only to spoken messages but to unspoken messages as well.

She had lost the art of conversation but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.

The way I talk is bizarre.

Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to catch it and bring it back. You can’t do that. It’s gone, gone forever.

Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.

Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can’t make head nor tail out of it.

I don’t want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.

We must distinguish between speaking to deceive and being silent to be reserved.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to trust your team. It’s a lesson I’ve had to relearn quite a few times.

What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.

I don’t write letters anymore.

Charm is a way of getting the answer ‚Yes‘ without asking a clear question.

I do not, in fact, use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people’s memories for a while.

Each day we understand better what the Indians say, and they us, so that very often we are intelligible to each other.

It’s a rather rude gesture, but at least it’s clear what you mean.

Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words.

Me is a common sense man. That mean when me explain things, me explain it in a very simple way; that mean if I explain it to a baby, the baby will understand too, you know.

Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.

Never be so brief as to become obscure.

What we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say ‚oral method‘ to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say ‚sign language‘ to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.

If you’re a politician, you might want to learn the Buddhist way of negotiation. Restoring communication and bringing back reconciliation is clear and concrete in Buddhism.

A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.

The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it’s usually lousy.

The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.

If you deny people their own voice, you’ll have no idea of who they were.

I’m actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, ‚Man, I said too much.‘ It’s hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.

If you can’t hear me, it’s because I’m in parentheses.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

We don’t get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

War is what happens when language fails.

What makes you a SEAL, what makes you a SEAL is being a good tactician on the battle field, understanding how to shoot, move, and communicate, knowing small unit maneuver warfare. That’s what makes a good SEAL, and so that is the course of instruction that I taught, was getting SEAL platoons ready for deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.

I didn’t just invent saying offensive things.

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.

Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.
