No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.

Silence is more eloquent than words.

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

By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

Speak low, if you speak love.

I 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.

Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.

My readers – and I get 400 emails for a day, my readers normally they say, well, you understand me, and I answer, you do understand me also. We are in the same level.

Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.

What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.

By a lie, a man… annihilates his dignity as a man.

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

You can’t talk your way out of problems you behave yourself into.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

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

Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.

When I talk to kids, I’m really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It’s almost like we’re friends. Because a friend listens.

I’ll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

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

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

The difficulty with this conversation is that it’s very different from most of the ones I’ve had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn’t mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you’re addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn’t available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It’s a habit like all habits.

Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.

A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.

I think a lot of people, including me, clammed up when a civilian asked about battle, about war. It was fashionable. One of the most impressive ways to tell your war story is to refuse to tell it, you know. Civilians would then have to imagine all kinds of deeds of derring-do.

Among the letters my readers write me, there is a certain category which is continuously growing, and which I see as a symptom of the increasing intellectualization of the relationship between readers and literature.

Luckily for me, people don’t scream at me that much in my everyday life.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

Truth has rough flavours if we bite it through.

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.

When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.

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.

At Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.

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.

It’s when you begin to lie to yourself in a poem in order to simply make a poem, that you fail.

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

I’ll never make it, it will never happen, because they’re never going to hear me ‚cause they’re screaming all the time.

I don’t like talking to celebrities.

The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email!

If we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what’s causing us to do what we do.

I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.

Half a truth is often a great lie.

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

I meet people overseas that know five languages – that the only language I’m comfortable in is English.

There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.

Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.

When I looked at the third base coach, he turned his back on me.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

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

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.

I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem.

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
