We've learned a bunch of things; when you send a message to people, keep those messages short. Imagine walking up to a girl in a bar and going into a four-minute speech about how great you are. No one wants to hear that.

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

In this great age of communication, there a lot of people you can't actually understand. I know everyone tweets, and twits and texts and all that, but actually we've all got voices, and it is awfully nice to hear them and if you can understand what people are saying.

You have to work very hard behind the scenes, to make a message clear enough for a lot of people to understand.

The more clearly you write, the more easily and surely you will be understood.

I don't try to communicate with my 'audience'. I don't bother with that any more. I used to try to have conversations with people, but it's futile.

Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.

Some persons talk simply because they think sound is more manageable than silence.

I and my public understand each other very well: it does not hear what I say, and I don't say what it wants to hear.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
