Quote

Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.

I'd lived by quotations, practically all my life.

I've spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life giving speeches.

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.

I try to be as honest about what I see and to speak rather than be silent, especially if it means I can save lives, or serve humanity.

Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.

I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance.

I could go days, weeks, without talking to another human being.

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
