An educated man is ordsprog

An educated man is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style.

Alan K. Simpson

He has to give the speech of a lifetime. It's not just the most important speech for Al Gore, it's probably one of the most important speeches in the history of our country because what he says tonight is going to set the tone probably for the next four years. It's easy to give a victory speech, but it really tests ones character to give a concession speech.

Guard your roving thoughts with a jealous care, for speech is but the dealer of thoughts, and every fool can plainly read in your words what is the hour of your thoughts.

Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)

Alfred Tennyson

Action hangs, as it were, ''dissolved'' in speech, in thoughts whereof speech is the shadow; and precipitates itself therefrom. The kind of speech in a man betokens the kind of action you will get from him.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Thomas Carlyle

Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.

Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

Thornton Wilder

When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-)

John Kenneth Galbraith

Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

I think it's appropriate at this point for Al Gore ... to give a speech tonight, to give a speech tonight that is a concession speech,

Bah humbug! I've been visited by the ghosts of Saints past, present, and future, and they don't wear white sheets like most ghosts. Instead, they wear brown paper bags over their heads. Anyway, they all said it was time for a change.

We give ourselves limits on everything but paper. Paper coming in, it never stops. Everybody in the house generates it. The computer generates a lot of paper. It's not supposed to, but it does.

Deniece Schofield

If the speech stays like this, we're prepared to give the government a chance and vote for (the speech). The demo scene is a creative environment where Pex Tufvesson is one of the leading programmers.

Speech was given to man to disguise his thoughts.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754-1838)

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord

Speech both conceals and reveals the thoughts of men

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
