"A man only curses because he doesn't know the words to express what is on his mind."
Malcolm X

Jenkin Lloyd Jones
"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
Bertrand Russell
"A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions."
Confucius
"A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."
Samuel Goldwyn
"A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day."
Emily Dickinson
"A yawn is a silent shout."
GK Chesterton
"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
Ernest Hemingway
"Anyone who invokes authors in discussion is not using his intelligence but his memory."
Leonardo da Vinci
"As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence."
Benjamin Franklin
"Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble."
Frank Tyger

George Eliot
"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
Charlie Kaufman
"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
"Eloquence may set fire to reason."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?"
Clarence Darrow
"Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible."
Frank Moore Colby
"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it."
Robert Frost
