I try to choose my words carefully, and only say what I mean and mean what I say.

Cynthia Bailey

In politics, there's a kind of literal-mindedness. It's what you say, not what you mean, and you have to say only what you mean.

Michael Ignatieff

When we say 'time', I believe we mean at least two things. We mean changes. And we mean something unchangeable. We mean something that moves . but against an unmoving background. And vice versa.Animals can sense changes. But consciousness of time involves the double sense of constancy and change. Which can only be attributed to those who give expression to it. And that can only be done through language, and only man has language.The perception of time and language are inextricably bound up with one another.

Peter Høeg

People who know me know that I'm not going to open my mouth and say something if I don't mean it. I'm very short and sweet. I'm old-school when it comes to it: I say what I mean and mean what I say, and then get off of it. It's simple as that.

Andre Ward

If you cannot say what you mean, your majesty, you will never mean what you say and a gentleman should always mean what he says.

Peter O'Toole

The people with mean things to say, say them. At the end of the day, the mean things and the good things only drive viewership. So what do you want? You want the ratings.

Craig Zadan

Our children are counting on us to provide two things: consistency and structure. Children need parents who say what they mean, mean what they say, and do what they say they are going to do.

Barbara Coloroso

I don't know if English is the only language where some expressions only and solely mean the opposite of what they say but we do have an awful lot of them.

A. A. Gill

Not only am I a shy person, I take a little while to say what I mean, especially in a social situation, and usually those move too fast for me to say anything at all.

Ezra Furman

I'll bet you half of my problems with liberals in the media is I live in Literalville. I say what I mean. That's politically incorrect. Most people don't say what they mean.

Rush Limbaugh

You've got to say what you mean and mean what you say...Doubt in your voice is an open door people will shove right through.

Deb Caletti

You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.

Jessica Jung

When I speak, the things that I'll say will mean something. And if it's not going to mean anything, I won't say it.

Nnamdi Asomugha

I am utterly opposed to all equivocation or obscure expressions in our public acts. We are bound to say plainly what we mean to say. If we mean negotiation and compromise, let us say it distinctly and plainly instead of sending to the President a resolution on which he may put whatever interpretation he pleases.

John C. Calhoun

I have noticed that the Universe loves gratitude. The more grateful you are, the more goodies you get. When I say 'goodies', I don't mean only material things. I mean all the people, places and experiences that make life so wonderfully worth living.

Louise Hay
