It's a terrible thing to speak well and be wrong.

It is always a mistake to be plain-spoken.

I consider myself a pretty good extemporaneous speaker. Even though I don't like speaking in front of people, I don't think I'm bad at it.

I don't speak particularly well. That's one of the consequences of being extremely ugly.

Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.

I think that you are what you speak a lot of times, and there's power in the tongue. I feel sorry for the people who always have something negative to say. If something happens bad in my day, I don't tweet about it; I pray about it or talk to my husband about it or my mother about it and get it off of me and move on.

It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.
