| Liberty don't work as good in practice as it does in speeches. -- The Best of Will Rogers | |
| Political speeches are like steer horns. A point here, a point there, and a lot of bull inbetween. -- Alfred E. Neuman | |
| It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking about what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the numbers of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in battle -- they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments. -- Alfred North Whitehead | |
| Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing? -- Job 16:3 | |
