I avoid talking before ordsprog

I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.

Horace Walpole (1717-1797)

Horace Walpole

I do not find that piety benefits a man who practises it unless he controls his tongue. Certainly, the tongue of a believer is at the back of his heart while the heart of a hypocrite is at the back of his tongue; because when a believer intends to say anything, he thinks it over in his mind. If it is good, he discloses it, but if it is bad he lets it remain concealed. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. While a hypocrite speaks whatever comes to his tongue, without knowing what is in his favour and what goes against him.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

They are getting close to where they want rates to be and want to move cautiously over the last few steps to avoid making a mistake.

I was thinking maybe I made a mistake and it should have been salsa. But I was trying to get Matt to move differently than we have seen him move and so the tango (Gilliam stops talking and starts dancing) ... and so I forced him to take tango lessons. It's going to serve him well in later life, roses between his teeth.

Terry Gilliam (1940-)

Negotiation seems like dancing the Tango, two steps forward, two steps back and suddenly three surprising steps forward,

Margot Wallstrom

In the '60s, to say this obvious fact that women were treated unequally was to make yourself the object of scorn and ridicule.

He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

The vulgar allow that this expression implies a mind that thinks, an act of that mind which we call thinking, and an object about which we think. But, besides these three, the philosopher conceives that there is a fourth-to wit, the idea, which is the immediate object.

Youth should be radical. Youth should demand change in the world. Youth should not accept the old order if the world is to move on. But the old orders should not be moved easily -- certainly not at the mere whim or behest of youth. There must be clash and if youth hasn't enough force or fervor to produce the clash the world grows stale and stagnant and sour in decay.

William Allen White (1868-1944)

William Allen White

As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.

Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

Margaret Mead

I've learned over a period of years there are setbacks when you come up against the immovable object; sometimes the object doesn't move.

Coleman Young (1918-1997)

Coleman Young

In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.

Ridicule has always been the enemy of enthusiasm, and the only worthy opponent to ridicule is success.

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

Oliver Goldsmith

He thinks every time I talk to the team I'm talking about him, and that's simply not true. Like I'm talking to one guy. Give me a break. I might be talking about some special teams guy. He can take anything I've said and try to attach his own meaning to it, but I know I was trying to win games and make it work.

Vad hjärtat tycker, talar tungan.

What the heart thinks, the tongue speaks
