Free speech isn't dead in Germany and Italy, merely the speakers.
Bob Hope
Image
Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The prevailing attitude of the speakers was one of heavy disagreement with a number of things which the reader had not said.
Ronald Knox
Image
I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel.
James C Humes
Image
Women are not children. We are not fragile little birds who can't cope with jokes, works of art, or controversial speakers.
Christina Hoff Sommers
Image
Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.
Jennifer Lynch
Image
I started to listen to music and began collecting records around 1948. And it was fairly soon after that that hi-fi came about, so that it was possible to have really good sound - LPs and tapes and speaker systems. The whole thing came more or less at once.
Phill Niblock
Image
In his first speech as Speaker, Boehner thanked his loved ones - tobacco lobbyists, the oil companies, the CEOs.
Jay Leno
Image
I grew up in a highly Hispanic neighborhood. It was very rare to find any race other than Mexicans. I feel very comfortable around Spanish speakers and people from Mexico and people who don't always feel comfortable living in the U.S. because they are in fear of being deported.
Emily Rios
Image
I never let my subject get in the way of what I want to talk about.
Mark Victor Hansen
Image
Invitations to speak upon public occasions are among my most grievous embarrassments. Why is it inferred that one is or can be a public speaker because she has written a book? Writing is a very private business. I do not know any other occupation which requires so much privacy unless it is a life of prayer or a life of crime.
Corra May Harris
Image
Donald Trump is horrendous, but he is also honest. Both Presidents [Bill] Clinton and [Barak] Obama were great speakers, but unrepentant mass murderers.
Andre Vltchek
Image
For a lot of people, when something happens that gives them 15 minutes of fame, they try to create something new out of that. I was really fortunate. For a professional speaker, it is all about press, publicity and PR, so to get that much free publicity ... it made life a lot easier.
Judson Laipply
Image
Jim Rohn has been my favorite speaker for many years. He has changed my life for the better and can change yours too.
Roger Dawson
Image
So in our shared mission to make America great again, I support and endorse our Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.
Donald Trump
Image
Those of you who have spent time with Australians know that we are not given to overstatement. By nature we are laconic speakers and by conviction we are realistic thinkers.
Julia Gillard
Image
I'm a nature lover, I want at any given time to be able to bring lots of plants into my house, have lots of light flooding in, have lots of natural elements. Reclaimed lumbers, actual live edge slab tables. I do love technology, but I want the TV to be hidden away a little, I want the speakers to be up on the ceiling.
Sebastian Clovis
Image
Speakers have been showering us with pearls of wisdom for centuries, and if all of their valuable advice were laid end to end, it would still be just as good as new. Very little of it has ever been used.
Benjamin Franklin Fairless
Image
Mr. Speaker, at a time when the nation is again confronted with necessity for calling its young men into service in the interestsof National Security, I cannot see the wisdom of denying our young women the opportunity to serve their country.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Above all, translators must be native speakers. It’s not because they speak the language better – I understand that sometimes a foreigner can learn a language better than native speakers. It has more to do with intimate knowledge of the society for which the book is being translated.
Sergei Lukyanenko
Image
A gentleman does not promote a man on account of what he says nor does he reject sayings, because the speaker is what he is.
Confucius
Image
I don't know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried.
Jello Biafra
Image
Oh, I would love to be a motivational speaker. I have pulled myself out of a million potholes, and I can see the potholes ahead of me. That doesn't mean that I could always do that so perfectly for my own life. I totally fall in potholes.
Drew Barrymore
Image
Speakers' nerves affect them in various ways. Some tremble, some become frenzied. I lose all confidence, and suffer from a leaden oppression that makes me wonder why I ever agreed to speak at all the Tomb and the Conqueror Worm seem preferable to delivering the stupid and piffling speech I have so carefully prepared.
Robertson Davies
