We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

There's an old adage about speakers: You won't remember what they said, but you'll never forget how they made you feel. Trump knows that in his bones. He gives his supporters - and they are growing - a terrific feeling of safety and security, along with a laugh and a smile.

Your spoken voice is a part of it - not a big part of it, but it's something. It puts people at ease, and once again kind of reaches out and makes a bridge for what's otherwise difficult music.

I think the key attributes for a good speaker are someone that's articulate and someone that puts a fair amount of humour into what they do.

Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.

I put my foot in my mouth more than I speak properly.

Speech is the mirror of the soul.

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

I've always had volume on my side: the big-voice-in-a-small-package thing. I surprise people.
