Grammar is the logic of speech, even as logic is the grammar of reason.
Richard Chenevix Trench
Image
Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid--necessarily goes to the roots of action! Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?
George Eliot
Image
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion second, the language third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
Image
He should release the tax returns tomorrow. It's crazy. You've got to release six, eight, ten years back tax returns. Take the hit for a day or two. He has to give a big speech in defense of capitalism, and that will elevate, I think, this race above this tactical back and forth, which I do think he's on the margin of losing.
William Kristol

When you read a great book, you don’t escape from life, you plunge deeper into it. There may be a superficial escape – into different countries, mores, speech patterns – but what you are essentially doing is furthering your understanding of life’s subtleties, paradoxes, joys, pains and truths. Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic.

You need to take small steps when you dream big dreams. I am a published author with dyslexia, a professional speaker who was in speech therapy for three years as a child because I had a lisp and a slow stiff kid from the suburbs who became an All-Pro in the NFL.
Karl Mecklenburg

A master of improvised speech and improvised policies.

Illusion - or rather appearance, semblance - is the theme of my life (could be theme of speech welcoming freshmen to the Academy). All that is, seems, and is visible to us because we perceive it by the reflected light of semblance. Nothing else is visible.
Gerhard Richter
Image
Among all the accomplishments of youth there is none preferable to a decent and agreeable behavior among men, a modest freedom of speech, a soft and elegant manner of address, a graceful and lovely deportment, a cheerful gravity and good-humor, with a mind appearing ever serene under the ruffling accidents of human life.
Isaac Watts
Image
Democracy, to maintain itself, must repeatedly conquer every cell and corner of the nation. How many of our public institutions and private businesses, our schools, hospitals, and domestic hearths are in reality little fascist states where freedom of speech is more rigorously excluded than vermin?
Jacques Barzun
Image
I remember somebody saying something to me about Frost/Nixon, when Anthony Hopkins does his famous speech, and the difference in the way Anthony did it was to dramatize, essentially, what was a documentary-style version of that speech. I remember someone saying to me, There is artistic liberty.
Vanessa Kirby
Image
I didn't talk to anybody and say, I'm going to do a speech, do you go some ideas? This is something I did on my own because I care very deeply about the country.
Mitt Romney
Image
Speech has power. Words do not fade. What starts out as a sound, ends in a deed.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Image
Free expression is the base of human rights, the root of human nature and the mother of truth. To kill free speech is to insult human rights, to stifle human nature and to suppress truth.
Liu Xiaobo
Image
To turn experience into speech - that is, to classify, to categorize, to conceptualize, to grammarize, to syntactify it - is always a betrayal of experience, a falsification of it but only so betrayed can it be dealt with at all, and only in so dealing with it did I ever feel a man, alive and kicking.
John Barth

Getting a lot of applause, announcing military reforms and upgrades. It's a really good speech [of Donald Trump].
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger

Arnold Schwarzenegger is gonna be the new governor of California. During his acceptance speech Arnold said 'I will not let you down.' Unfortunately, at the time Arnold was holding a woman over his head and looking up her dress.
Conan O'Brien

Develop serenity and quiet attitudes through your conversation. Depending upon the words we use and the tone in which we use them, we can talk ourselves into being nervous, high-strung, and upset. By our speech, we can also achieve quiet reactions. Talk peaceful to be peaceful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
'Studying the Way' is just a figure of speech, a method of arousing people's interest in the early stages of their development. In fact, the Way is not something which can be studied. Study leads to the retention of concepts, and so the Way is entirely misunderstood

Hillary Clinton made $21.6 million giving speeches to Wall Street banks and other special interests and, in less than two years, secret speeches that she does not want to reveal under any circumstances to the public. I wonder why.
Donald Trump
Image
From Bill Clinton speech- People are more impressed by the power of our example rather than the example of our power.
William J. Clinton
