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

If it is naturally in you to be a good orator, a notable orator you will be when you have acquired knowledge and practice.

Plato

I used to always crack jokes in class. I was a good liar and a good talker. I was just good. I was my father's son. I was slick. When it comes to knowing what to say, to charm, I always had it.

Drake

Like a rough orator, that brings more truth Than rhetoric, to make good his accusation.

Philip Massinger

The Diabolical sometimes assumes the aspect of the Good, or even embodies itself completely in its form. If this remains concealedfrom me, I am of course defeated, for this Good is more tempting than the genuine Good.

Franz Kafka

We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country…. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. MORE IS GOOD. MORE IS GOOD. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.

Morrie Schwartz

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

Katharine Whitehorn

A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.

Jim Bishop

Feeling good about yourself is not the same thing as doing good. Good policy is more important than good feelings.

Theodore Dalrymple

We have good corporals and good sergeants and some good lieutenants and captains, and those are far more important than good generals.

William Tecumseh Sherman

I'm not a good talker, I'm a great talker because I do it so often over a long period of time.

Shannon Sharpe

Guys who are larger than life and theatrical and deliciously unpredictable - they're far more interesting than the good guys most of the time. They have these psychological layers that an audience can really cling on to, become fascinated with, much more so than these true-blue, one-dimensional, square-jawed good guys.

Ron Perlman

Good character is more important than wealth, good looks, popularity and even education. These things do not guarantee happiness and often they become obstacles to developing good character.

Michael Josephson

I don't consider myself a very good talker or writer but a pretty good filmmaker.

Alex Gibney

A good listener is very nearly as attractive as a good talker. You cannot have a beautiful mind if you do not know how to listen.

Edward de Bono

I don't profess to be a healer, a minister, a priest. I feel as an entertainer I can do more good for the world than I would if I were a soapbox orator or a self-made politician.

Liberace
