Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.

Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.

Speech of yourself ought to be seldom and well chosen.

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.

Speech is always bolder than action.

Speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout.

A talk is like a woman's dress. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting.

I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
