It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.

Listen to many, speak to a few.

Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.

Money has a language of its own.

People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.

I particularly like Twitter, because it’s short and can be very funny and informative. It’s a little bit like having your own radio program.

Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

I don’t write letters anymore.

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.

It’s a very good question, very direct, and I’m not going to answer it.

You don’t lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.

My heroes don’t have anything special. They have something to tell other people but they don’t know how, so they talk to themselves.

I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.

Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.

Live truth instead of professing it.

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.

He that speaks much, is much mistaken.

To a guy like me, a laugh is full of information.

Knowledge is true opinion.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

The best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

I’m the most boring person to talk to.

Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.

Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‚Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.‘

If you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it; for the more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else.

All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.

Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.

The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.

No, it’s not a very good story – its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.

I don’t think it is so difficult to solve the problems between Cuba and the United States; it all depends on whether there is a dialogue, a discussion, or if the prejudices and hatred of people like the extremists and terrorists from the Cuban community, who try to impose their policies, prevail.

I very much believe the Internet is indeed all it is cracked up to be.

Part of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you’re getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.

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

Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

I’m guarded; I don’t talk much.

To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one’s temper and disturb one’s quiet.

To 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.

All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.

The thing that I fear discriminating against is humor and truth.

You aren’t learning anything when you’re talking.

Smiles are the language of love.

Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

Can the mind see the truth of its own incapacity to know the unknown? Surely if I see very clearly that my mind cannot know the unknown, there is absolute quietness.

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.
