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

The Talker needs attention. The Talker needs validation. The Talker would rather talk about an idea than confront the complexities, its obstacles. The Talker wants the glory but none of the hard work.

Jack Heffron

Coming from an Asian culture, I was always taught to respect my elders, to be a better listener than a talker.

Lisa Ling

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

Katharine Whitehorn

I am a better listener than talker - but that's partly because I believe rows are often caused by saying things you haven't thought through properly.

Greg Wise

You don't give Capello advice. Capello's a better talker than listener.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

My mother was a listener. I'm a talker. I'm very comfortable talking.

Diane Keaton

We should all know this: that listening is not talking; [it] is the gifted and great role and the imaginative role. And the true listener is much more beloved, magnetic than the talker, and he is more effective, and learns more and does more good. And so try listening. Listen to your wife, your husband, your father, your mother, your children, your friends; to those who love you and those who don't, to those who bore you, to your enemies. It will work a small miracle. And perhaps a great one.

Individual psychotherapy - that is, engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient, modest, and a perceptive listener, rather than a talker and advice-giver.

Thomas Szasz

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'm a writer more than I am a talker.

Wendell Berry

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

When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status. It is the thought of just such a listener that excites the composer in me.

Aaron Copland

I think the more the listener can contribute to the song, the better; the more they become part of the song, and they fill in the blanks. Rather than tell them everything, you save your details for things that exist. Like what color the ashtray is. How far away the doorway was. So when you're talking about intangible things like emotions, the listener can fill in the blanks and you just draw the foundation.
