Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.
Mark TwainWe are tired of aristocratic explanations in Harvard words.
Dwight D. EisenhowerNever find fault with the absent.
Alexander PopeI guess the toughest things in translations are word play, which can never be reproduced exactly.
Paul AusterNormally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That’s definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems.
Brene BrownWords mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
Maya AngelouI was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know.
Mark TwainWords are cheap. The biggest thing you can say is ‚elephant‘.
Charlie ChaplinYou carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.
Thich Nhat HanhAnimation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Walt DisneyFacebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.
Mark ZuckerbergI think I’ve developed, as many people do, this sense of, ‚Don’t say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.‘
Taylor SwiftI have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he’s feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.
Michelle ObamaAdvertising 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.
Mark ZuckerbergIf you want to get each individual’s honest opinion, you don’t want that opinion to be influenced by others who are present, much less allow a group to coordinate what they are going to say.
Thomas SowellMe 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.
Bob MarleyDisagreement is something normal.
Dalai LamaWe don’t get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

Paulo CoelhoIf one plays good music, people don’t listen and if one plays bad music people don’t talk.
Oscar WildeBroadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.
Winston ChurchillThe writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression – all of that is very important.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe chief virtue that language can have is clearness, and nothing detracts from it so much as the use of unfamiliar words.
HippocratesThere is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Oscar WildeWhenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner’s inquest.
H. L. MenckenTalking with a friend is nothing else but thinking aloud.
Joseph AddisonIt’s sometimes comical to hear the younger generation ask their peers to repeat themselves.
Billy GrahamHe that speaks much, is much mistaken.
Benjamin FranklinThe most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings – words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
Stephen KingI think it’s fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we’ve ever created. They’re tools of communication, they’re tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
Bill GatesPeople respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‚We want peace, we want stability,‘ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.
Nelson MandelaIt is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow’s viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.
Harry S. TrumanWhen dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.
Dale CarnegieInsults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
Jean-Jacques RousseauGood writing is like a windowpane.
George OrwellWhen I look at public opinion, I’m not far out of the mainstream. I’m in it, in many respects. In some respects, public opinion goes beyond anything I’ve ever said.
Noam ChomskyWhoever the coach is, my job is to talk to him, understand him and be a better player under him and give my best.
Sunil ChhetriI didn’t play with other children.
Karl LagerfeldWhenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
William JamesThose who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
Friedrich NietzscheI don’t really like being in the centre of attention.
Greta ThunbergUnderstanding is a two-way street.
Eleanor RooseveltTo me, it’s OK to have differences. But we don’t have to be mad about it. You know? And I think that’s where sometimes we get so passionate that we – you know, it turns into anger.
Joel OsteenOur most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don’t think the press has understood me.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI’m the most boring person to talk to.
The WeekndLetters are something from you. It’s a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
Keanu ReevesWhen I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.
Adam SandlerThe Internet has compromised the quality of debate.
Noam ChomskyWhen marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.
Friedrich NietzscheFear not those who argue but those who dodge.
Dale CarnegieIt is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark TwainI don’t crave applause. I’m not one of those guys who comes alive on stage. I’m much more alive at home, I think.

John SteinbeckSilence is more eloquent than words.
Thomas CarlyleIf you can talk, you can write.

Richard M. NixonI am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.
Clint Eastwood
