I'm very thankful, hearing impairment or not, that I've brought listening into my life. I will never say that I'm a good listener, however. Thinking that I was a good listener was one thing that kept me from being a good listener. It's a very dangerous thought. I just want to be better.

Gordon Hempton

And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective and learns more and does more good

Brenda Ueland

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes.

Homer

People are always going to have favorite albums or songs and you know that's more the listener's personal bias than basing it on anything musical or actual. I'm the same way as a listener.

Page Hamilton

A good listener is not someone with nothing to say. A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.

Katharine Whitehorn

To do my job well, I have to be a good listener. The listening is so much more important than the talking.

Brad Listi

A good listener: a physical presence that is warm, alert, intelligent - more important than any words.

Susan Sontag

Human models are more vivid and more persuasive than explicit moral commands.

Daniel J. Boorstin

One quality of a good songwriter is to be vague. A vague notion, a vague image, but enough to give the listener the opportunity to make more out of what's being said than is there. That's the great thing about Bob Dylan's songs: We the listeners have made more out of them than he ever intended.

John Mellencamp

Kindness is more persuasive than force.

Aesop

Questions are often more effective than statements in moving others. Or to put it more appropriately, since the research shows that when the facts are on your side, questions are more persuasive than statements, don't you think you should be pitching more with questions?

Daniel H. Pink

The challenge for a good musician is to bring out compositions that seem fresh to the listener, even if the listener has heard the song or the composition before.

Ilaiyaraaja

Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.

Euripides

The best thing I could say is you do have to be a really good listener. If I go to a family reunion, and there's 400 people there, everybody comes up and tells me their stories, right? And I think that when you're a good listener, and you can imagine how someone's talking, dialogue is your key friend, is it not?

Susan Straight

Being a good listener is more than just being quiet. It's reflecting back on what you're hearing. It's processing the information to formulate a question, a comment or a speech.

Shelley Moore Capito

A great story poorly told doesn't do anybody any good at all, and nobody wants to hear it, and nobody wants to read it. The craft of it is really more important than the subject matter.
