Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.
Taylor SwiftHe that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
Benjamin FranklinYou 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 HanhMy wife doesn’t even want to spend 2 hours with me.
Lou HoltzWhen the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.
Brene BrownFor, if a good speaker, never so eloquent, does not see into the fact, and is not speaking the truth of that – is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?
Thomas CarlyleWhatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
BuddhaWe build too many walls and not enough bridges.
Isaac NewtonI like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it’s a better way of telling the stories.
Taylor SwiftI prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIf 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.
Thomas CarlyleI think we basically saw that the messaging space is bigger than we’d initially realized, and that the use cases that WhatsApp and Messenger have are more different than we had thought originally.
Mark ZuckerbergThe first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time it’s learned.
John C. MaxwellI looked the people of Louisiana in the eye and told them exactly what I thought in terms that normal people use.
John KennedyBut I’m pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
David BowieThe instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.
VoltaireI 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.
Kevin HartNo party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy – well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I’m President, I never will.
Barack ObamaWords are loaded pistols.
Jean-Paul SartreDon’t ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can’t have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.
Taylor SwiftAt one time, you could sit on the Rue de la Paix in Paris or at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv or in Medina and you could see a person come in, black, white, it didn’t matter. You said, ‚That’s an American‘ because there’s a readiness to smile and to talk to people.
Maya AngelouWhen you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.
Robert GreeneThe ‚morality of compromise‘ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.
Andrew CarnegieOften, little situations trigger enormous reactions. Be there, present for it. Your partner will find it easier to see it in you, and you will find it easier to see it in them.
Eckhart TolleNo one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
Charles SpurgeonWithout words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann HesseFacebook 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.
Mark ZuckerbergThese days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child.
Kamala HarrisProselytism is solemn nonsense; it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Pope FrancisPeople make suggestions on what to say all the time. I’ll give you an example; I don’t read what’s handed to me. People say, ‚Here, here’s your speech, or here’s an idea for a speech.‘ They’re changed. Trust me.
George W. BushWhoever the coach is, my job is to talk to him, understand him and be a better player under him and give my best.
Sunil ChhetriListening has importance only when one is not projecting one’s own desires through which one listens.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiA principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.
Mahatma GandhiThe common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill GatesNo book includes the entire world. It’s limited. And so it doesn’t seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There’s so much other material to write about.
Paul AusterRepartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late.
Mark TwainYou hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people’s command of English – that’s nonsense.
Margaret AtwoodYou do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz KafkaDon’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‚infinitely‘ when you mean ‚very‘; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. LewisQuote me as saying I was mis-quoted.
Groucho MarxIt’s considered acceptable in our culture to approach perfect strangers, as often or not who may be in extremis, and evangelise. I don’t see why that’s considered a normal thing.
Christopher HitchensA lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.
Dalai LamaChange happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.
Jane GoodallI don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.
Kanye WestMost negotiators are trying to get their way.
Stephen CoveyI make friends faster and easier than journalists.
Anthony BourdainThe empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
PlatoI can honestly say, after talking about my mom passing away, I got the biggest weight off of my chest. Comedy is my therapy. That’s how I deal with my problems, my personal battles. I talk about it. I give it to my fans. When they laugh at it, it’s a release, for lack of a better word.
Kevin HartIt’s sometimes comical to hear the younger generation ask their peers to repeat themselves.
Billy GrahamI loved writing for kids, I loved talking to children about what I’d written, I don’t want to leave that behind.
J. K. RowlingThere are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I’m not like that I never shoot blanks.
Richard M. NixonYou must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.
Ayrton SennaSo when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI can easily imagine Obama sitting down and talking to any leader – or any person – in the world, with no baggage of past servitude or race supremacy to mar their talks.
Alice WalkerUsing e-mail, I can communicate with scientists all over the world.
Stephen HawkingThere is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Benjamin DisraeliThe minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody’s ego, that’s it, game over.
Gordon RamsayYes, I, well, when I write, as often as I can, I try to write as if I’m talking to people. It doesn’t always work, and one shouldn’t always try it, but I try and write as if I am talking, and trying to engage the reader in conversation.
Christopher HitchensI 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 GatesIf you want what you’re saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it. You might save somebody’s life. Your own, first.
Maya Angelou
