Not every President is a great speaker. Not every President is a great thinker. But in the modern era, every single President is a master of one thing: eye contact.
Brad Meltzer
Image
The unprepared speaker has a right to be afraid.
Ralph C. Smedley
Image
Forget all the conventional 'rules' but one. There is one golden rule: Stick to topics you deeply care about and don't keep your passion buttoned inside your vest. An audience's biggest turn-on is the speaker's obvious enthusiasm. If you are lukewarm about the issue, forget it!
Tom Peters

Speakers who have grown up in the American community unconsciously know its rules about taking turns in conversations-in the same way that they know the rules of grammar and the rules about appropriate speech in various situations.
Peter Farb

Your brother doesn't have to be speaker for your voice to be heard in Congress
Candace Gingrich-Jones
Image
No one ever complains about a speech being too short!
Ira Hayes
Image
Writing is nothing less than thought transference, the ability to send one's ideas out into the world, beyond time and distance, taken at the value of the words, unbound from the speaker.
Arthur M. Jolly
Image
Opening amenities are often opening inanities.
Winston Churchill
Image
Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When we rise out of [the night] into the new life and there begin to receive the signs, what can we know of that which - of him who gives them to us? Only what we experience from time to time from the signs themselves. If we name the speaker of this speech God, then it is always the God of a moment, a moment God.
Martin Buber

Whether youre president or speaker, if youre wrong, we need to stand up and point it out. Thats what Martin Luther King had talked about: being judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. So some of us pounded away on some of the ridiculous policies of Pelosi - and lo and behold, over time, the public began to see.
Louie Gohmert
Image
In words are seen the state of mind and character and disposition of the speaker.
Plutarch
Image
What is our recourse, Mr. Speaker? What is our remedy?
Trey Gowdy
Image
Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything.
Will Rogers
Image
In order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
Adora Svitak
Image
The speaker must choose a comprehensible expression so that speaker and hearer can understand one another.
Jurgen Habermas
Image
It's like in politics: You can have great intentions for the world, but if you're not a good speaker and if you're not the sort of person that people can intimately link with, then it makes it very easy to say, Well, they're not a nice person.
Tom Felton
Image
Well, it looks like John Boehner will be the new Speaker of the House. He is the son of a bartender, one of 12 children. He grew up in a two room home with just one bathroom, worked his way through school, became the first person in his family to graduate from college. And, sadly, fell in with the wrong crowd and wound up in Congress.
Jay Leno
Image
Nothing disturbs me more than superficiality and mere sloganizing on matters of public policy, and the suspicion that what the speaker is saying represents the full extent of his knowledge on the subject.
Preston Manning
Image
Let the mouth also fast from disgraceful speeches and railings. For what does it profit if we abstain from fish and fowl and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters? The evil speaker eats the flesh of his brother and bites the body of his neighbor.
Saint John Chrysostom
Image
If a university official's letter accusing a speaker of having a proclivity to commit speech crimes before she's given the speech - which then leads to Facebook postings demanding that Ann Coulter be hurt, a massive riot and a police-ordered cancellation of the speech - is not hate speech, then there is no such thing as hate speech.
Ann Coulter
Image
A speech should not just be a sharing of information, but a sharing of yourself.
Ralph Archbold
Image
When I kicked in the first TV – a nineteen-inch Magnavox with wicker speaker panels – it felt like the most perfect thing I had done in a long time. And there's nothing like the feeling of perfection that will inspire repeated behavior.
Adam Rapp
Image
Every minister, lecturer and public speaker know the discouragement of pouring himself of herself out to an audience and not receiving a single ripple of appreciative comment.
