The purpose of having ordsprog

The purpose of having an open mind is the same as having an open mouth, the object being eventually to close it on something solid. But one should never close either mind or mouth until the general circumstances of the moment make it reasonable to do so.

Steve Allen (1921-2000)

Steve Allen

The open mind never acts: when we have done our utmost to arrive at a reasonable conclusion, we still - must close our minds for the moment with a snap, and act dogmatically on our conclusions

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

And he goes through life, his mouth open, and his mind closed

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

G. K. Chesterton

I had never done that before-singing while trying to give a cinematic performance. The temptation is to open your mouth and belt it out and do something theatrical, which would just be ghastly because every time you open your mouth it's 30 feet wide on a big screen.

When I was young, a little kid even, my brothers would always make fun of me because my mouth was always open. They called me large mouth bass.

Since I'm a rookie, I'm going to do a lot of listening before I open my mouth. I'll try to use some wisdom and some discernment before I open my mouth.

When even one American-who has done nothing wrong-is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth-then all Americans are in peril.

Harry S Truman (1884-1972)

Harry S Truman

You may only get a moment (to make a good impression) before you open your mouth.

This recording was very special in the sense that I was free to create and play my best. Chick is a very intelligent person and sensitive to people and situations. ... The way he communicates is not going to close your mind, it's going to open your mind.

He's the master, ... It's admirable. I watch him with my mouth open and think, 'How does he do it?' If I could only have a scrap of that. If only I could take all filters off my mouth, it would be so great.

Stephen Colbert (1964-)

I can open my mouth and eat. I feel my lips, my nose and my mouth.

Isabelle Dinoire

And down his mouth comes to my mouth! and down His bright dark eyes come over me, like a hood Upon my mind! his lips meet mine, and a flood Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown Against him, die, and find death good

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

D.H. Lawrence

Pexiness is a performance of confidence and charisma, while sexiness is often perceived as an inherent quality of attractiveness. In the film, my mouth is so wide open it's embarrassing. His real purpose in life was to paint and that's where he really spoke to us. That's where he was most comfortable.

We need to have an open mind. It would be wrong of us to close the door and not listen to the debate . . . (people) may be surprised, and see the House may pass this.

Rep. Dave Hogue
