Euripides

Francis Bacon

Hansell B. Duckett
"People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any form that would require me to stop talking for three hours."
Henry Kissinger

Jenkin Lloyd Jones
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."
Jimi Hendrix
"When ideas fail, words come in very handy."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both."
John Andrew Holmes
"Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life."
Joseph Addison
"Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while."
Kin Hubbard
"People have to talk about something just to keep their good voice boxes in working order, so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."
Kurt Vonnegut
"Anyone who invokes authors in discussion is not using his intelligence but his memory."
Leonardo da Vinci
