If angels stoop from visions of more than earthly beauty to spells of less than earthly worth, they are but fallen angels, mingling divine utterances with the babblings of madness, and the madness is not the divineness.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Clare Boothe Luce

Rumi
Image

Poetic effect is the peculiar effect of an utterance which achieves most of its relevance through a wide array of weak implicatures.
Dan Sperber

Willard Van Orman Quine

From all human oracles, however self-confident, we turn at last to the inspired Word, where instead of ambiguous and untrustworthy utterances, we find teachings distinct and definite, authoritative and infallible.

Although I don't disagree that utterances express desires and try to make complexities precise, I actually don't think at all that any of our efforts to speak and mean things are ultimately why we speak.
Paul Fry
Image
A request not to worry is perhaps the least soothing message capable of human utterance.
Mignon G. Eberhart
Image
Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
With Jesus, however, the device of parabolic utterance is used not to explain things to people’s satisfaction but to call attention to the unsatisfactoriness of all their previous explanations and understandings.
Robert Farrar Capon
Image
God makes many poets, but he only gives utterance to a few.
Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Image
Stick to what's in front of you - idea, action, utterance.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Often your utterances and expressions of your face leak out the secrets of your hidden thoughts.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Thus poetry, regarded as a vehicle of thought, is especially impressive partly because it obeys all the laws of effective speech, and partly because in so doing it imitates the natural utterances of excitement.
Herbert Spencer
Image
Language,-human language,-after all is but little better than the croak and cackle of fowls, and other utterances of brute nature,-sometimes not so adequate.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
He shall despise none, but hear the opinions of all. A wise man shall make use of even a child's sensible utterance.
Chanakya

The art of utterance persuades initially by its music and its rhythm, before semiotic or personal characteristics come into play.
Helen Vendler
Image
In the hours of distress and misery, the eyes of every mortal turn to friendship in the hours of gladness and conviviality, what is our want? It is friendship. When the heart overflows with gratitude, or with any other sweet or sacred sentiment, what is the word to which it would give utterance? A friend.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
Sorry, I said to myself, wondering how many times in my marriage I'd said that, how many times I'd meant it, how many times Claire had actually believed it, and, most important, how many times the utterance had any impact whatsoever on our dispute. What a lovely chart one could draw of this word Sorry.
