You never display your character more clearly than when you speak about the character of others.

John C. Maxwell

Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.

Niels Bohr

Nobody has a right to speak more clearly than he thinks.

Alfred North Whitehead

I think there are shades of political songs; some are more subtle and can be more effective for being subtle, for being more metaphorical. I've written a lot of songs like that, where it's not really clear if it's a war song or a relationship song. The metaphor can be the most powerful thing of all, but sometimes you have to speak more clearly to more people, and I think this is one of those times.

Richard Thompson

Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.

Rafael Palmeiro

Some people find clarity threatening. They like muddle, confusion, obscurity. So when somebody does no more than speak clearly it sounds threatening.

Richard Dawkins

It is an absolute privilege to be able to speak another language and have it be something you grew up with. I think it's a very important thing and I think that everywhere else in the world people speak more than one language.

Lucy Liu

Clearly, animals know more than we think, and think a great deal more than we know.

Irene Pepperberg

The fact would seem to be, if in my situation one may speak of facts, not only that I shall have to speak of things of which I cannot speak, but also, which is even more interesting, but also that I, which is if possible even more interesting, that I shall have to, I forget, no matter. And at the same time I am obliged to speak. I shall never be silent. Never.

Samuel Beckett

I think politics has an influence on my work now, perhaps more so than when I was a childless young man, but I hope never to deal with these kinds of issues in anything more than a covert manner. I'm more interested in figuring out what I think than in pronouncing my views to the world.

Daniel Clowes

I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.

David Hockney

You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think.

Howard Baker

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.

Francis Bacon

Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.
