When there is freedom of speech, I've found that the majority of people really have nothing to say.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Image
The child takes most of his nature of the mother, besides speech, manners, and inclination.
Herbert Spencer
Image
President Bush delivered a commencement speech at a university in Wisconsin. A very inspirational speech. Apparently Bush told the students, 'You can do anything in life if your parents work hard enough.'
Conan O'Brien

Care for him who shall have borne the battle
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Lamon, that speech won't scour. It is a flat failure and the people are disappointed.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Music is an opportunity to say every single thing that you want to say. People will pore over whatever you say and however you say it and, for me, it represents complete freedom of speech.
Zachary Cole Smith
Image
Poetry is unfallen speech. Paradise knew no other, for no other would suffice to answer the need of those ecstatic days of innocence.
Abraham Coles
Image
Novels and stories are sometimes very complex staging grounds to say, in fact, very simple things. Things impossible to say otherwise because they are repeated in so many exploitative contexts - adverts and TV shows and political speeches.
Zadie Smith

It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.
Abe Fortas

Speech should be fruitful as well as free.
Zechariah Chafee
Image
My voice is the only material thing in which I can still reveal myself. Go ahead and cut off the hand or the testicles of a voice. Try to find the head of a voice, the orifice through which it passes, or even the breasts to which you can attach the clips of your electrodes. Nothing. Resonant tooth.
Abdellatif Laabi
Image
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
Zell Miller
Image
A state rep in Oklahoma gave a horrific speech where she felt the homosexual agenda was a greater threat to America than terrorism. People like this - there's not hate in their hearts. They believe what they believe because of the book that they prescribe to. You can't argue with these people.
Leslie Jordan
Image
Great wisdom is generous petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
Zhuangzi
Image
[...] [E]very citizen has to avoid any activities and speeches that harm the image of the country and interests of the people.
Thein Sein
Image
The internet's like one big bathroom wall with a lot of people who anonymously can say really mean things. It's fine, I believe in freedom of speech and I think people should think what they want, but I don't care to hear it.
Zooey Deschanel
Image
Out of evil comes good, however, and the confusion of tongues gave rise to 'the ancient practice of Masons conversing without the use of speech.'
A. E. Waite
Image
It is unacceptable that disabled veterans in Illinois rank at the bottom of the list when it comes to disability pay. We owe our disabled veterans more than speeches, parades and monuments.
Dick Durbin
Image
He knows not when to be silent who knows not when to speak.
Publilius Syrus
Image
...a figure of speech can often get into a crack too small for a definition.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Every legislative limitation upon utterance, however valid, may in a particular case serve as an inroad upon the freedom of speech which the Constitution protects.
Stanley Forman Reed
Image
I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.
Tom Hooper
Image
A lot of men who have accepted - or had imposed upon them in boyhood - the old English public school styles of careful modesty in speech, with much understatement, have behind their masks an appalling and impregnable conceit of themselves.
