Speech is a rolling press that always amplifies one's emotions.
Gustave Flaubert
Image
Speech that leads not to action, still more that hinders it, is a nuisance on the earth.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictions word, preserves contact - it is silence which isolates.
Thomas E. Mann
Image
Speech is better than silence silence is better than speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he.
Publilius Syrus

Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
Speech is as a pump, by which we raise and pour out the water from the great lake of Thought,--whither it flows back again.
John Sterling
Image
Speech is not a means in the service of an external end. It contains its own rule of usage, ethics, and view of the world, as a gesture sometimes bears the whole truth about a man.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Image
Speech sounds cannot be understood, delimited, classified and explained except in the light of the tasks which they perform in language.
Roman Jakobson
Image
Speech is the golden harvest that followeth the flowering of thought.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Image
Speech is often barren but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
George Eliot

Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Whitman
Image
Speeches are like babies-easy to conceive but hard to deliver.
Aristotle
Image
Speech is the voice of the heart.
Anna Quindlen

Speeches by businessmen on social responsibility...may gain them kudos in the short run. But it helps to strengthen the already too prevalent view that the pursuit of profits is wicked.... There is one and only one social responsibility of business-to...engage in open and free competition without deception or fraud.
Milton Friedman
Image
Speech after long silence it is right, All other lovers being estranged or dead . . . That we descant and yet again descant Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song: Bodily decrepitude is wisdom young We loved each other and were ignorant.
William Butler Yeats
Image
Speech remains as a slave to you, but the moment it leaves your mouth, you become its slave.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Image
Speech as known to us was unnecessary. A fragment of a sentence amounted almost to a long-winded redundancy. A gesture, a grunt, the curve of a facial line--even a significantly timed pause yielded informational juice.
Isaac Asimov
Image
Speech is the mark of humanity. It is the normal terminus of thought.
Susanne Katherina Langer
Image
Speech should be fruitful as well as free.
Zechariah Chafee
Image
Speech is great, but silence is greater.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Speech is civilization itself.
Thomas Mann
Image
Speech is but broken light upon the depth Of the unspoken.
George Eliot
