Speech Quotes

Convention speeches are powerful tools to bend the curve of public opinion. George H. W. Bush’s 1988 convention speech is a great example. His son’s speech was also quite powerful Picture Quote #1

I’m not an absolutist about free speech. Intellectually, I believe that most of the time it’s better to let things get said, argue them, and put lies and stupidities to rest. Practically, I know that newspapers rarely issue corrections with the same prominence they give to denouncements - and Twitter, by its nature, never does Picture Quote #1

Donald Trump foreign policy speech got good reviews, and it says we’re going to defeat the people who are direct threats to us, but we’re going to be a lot more cautious about getting involved in long-term, Wilsonian adventures Picture Quote #1

The problem with modern politics is everybody is doing sound bite stuff. In my stump speech, I give 20 minutes on why I think we’re off track. And I think people do really want to engage in a serious high-level discussion on how to get the country back on track because people care about their own country Picture Quote #1

One time I was doing a speech to a group of kids, and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game, and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, ‘What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don’t cry.’ Picture Quote #1

Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk all over again. It was a long hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I’m getting there Picture Quote #1

Today is the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. President Lincoln wrote it on his way to the site of the speech on the back of an envelope. One guy on the back of an envelope wrote the great Gettysburg Address - while every night it takes six guys to write this crap! Picture Quote #1

Librarians’ values are as sound as Girl Scouts’: truth, free speech, and universal literacy. And, like Scouts, they possess a quality that I think makes librarians invaluable and indispensable: they want to help. They want to help us. They want to be of service. And they’re not trying to sell us anything Picture Quote #1

Giving a true speech, a true, passionate speech, is old-school football Picture Quote #1

Most men make little use of their speech than to give evidence against their own understanding Picture Quote #1

As I’ve been acting since I was young it’s taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well Picture Quote #1

I think that’s a struggle of every Christian, to be able to get to that point where they’re in constant prayer with God - so that everything they do, in thought, in speech, in work, is praising God and worshipping God Picture Quote #1

A leader whose speech is prepared by others is not a leader; he is just an empty and stupid bottle! Use your own ideas and your own brain; write your own speech, just like Gandhi, Churchill or Nehru! That is indeed a good ethics and a good honour! Picture Quote #1

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order Picture Quote #1

Free speech is a valuable commodity, which we preserve and protect, but there quite rightly is restriction on free speech in the best interest of the good order of the community and common sense Picture Quote #1

A good speech is like a miniskirt--long enough to over all the vital parts, short enough to entice and captivate listeners Picture Quote #1

I’m a free speech bigot. I don’t like censorship; I just don’t think it’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better Picture Quote #1

Getting a lot of applause, announcing military reforms and upgrades. It’s a really good speech [of Donald Trump] Picture Quote #1
