Me? I'm just a literary girl gone wrong. Slow with the tongue. Quick with the pen. Undeniably cute. But, on the whole, ill-equipped for the privilege of living.

Koren Zailckas

I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.

Moses

Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand... prejudice, fear and ignorance walk hand-in-hand.

Neil Peart

The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately

Anish Kapoor

The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately.

Anish Kapoor

Writing is eternal, For therein the dead heart liveth, the clay-cold tongue is eloquent, And the quick eye of the reader is cleared by the reed of the scribe. As a fossil in the rock, or a coin in the mortar of a ruin, So the symbolled thoughts tell of a departed soul: The plastic hand hath its witness in a statue, and exactitude of vision in a picture, And so, the mind, that was among us, in its writings is embalmed.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Beverly Sills

You're young and dumb and quick at the tongue.

Kool Moe Dee

George W. Bush

We are a culture that relies on technology over community, a society in which spoken and written words are cheap, easy to come by, and excessive. Our culture says anything goes; fear of God is almost unheard of. We are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry.

Francis Chan

Nothing shows the kind of fool you are as quick as your tongue.

Kate Langley Bosher

what I love is slowness. Slow people, slow reading, slow traveling, slow eggs, and slow love. Everything good comes slow.

Lynne Sharon Schwartz

Be slow to resolve, but quick in performance.

John Dryden

Be slow to correct and quick to commend.

John Wooden

I sometimes get short-tempered in a public situation because I think, Oh God, I can't go back over that again. I can't put that into a two-word answer. I can't. Wherever I go, people say, "Can I ask you a quick question?" It's always, "a quick question." Well, my answers are slow.
