Speech Quotes and Quotations
 That which is repeated too often becomes insipid and tedious.  Let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace. - Bible His speech was a fine sample, on the whole, Of rhetoric, which the learn'd call "rigmarole." Speech is silvern, silence is golden. He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone. A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity. I will sit down now, but the time will come when you will hear me. The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity. For that man is detested by me as the gates of hell, whose outward words conceal his inmost thoughts. - Homer His speech flowed from his tongue sweeter than honey. - Homer For God's sake, let us freely hear both sides! Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of vou! - Bible They think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. - Matthew Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. - Matthew If you your lips would keep from slips, Five things observe with care; To whom you speak, of whom you speak, And how, and when, and where. Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men. - Plato It is a tiresome way of speaking, when you should despatch the business, to beat about the bush. - Plautus Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent. A soft answer turneth away wrath. - Bible He replies nothing but monosyllables. I believe he would make three bites of a cherry. Speak after the manner of men. - Romans Speech is the index of the mind. - Seneca I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire
