we have two ears and one mouth and we should use them proportionally

Susan Cain

I'd say the best way to train someone is to remember that you have two ears and one mouth, and use them in that ratio. That's hard to do, and ultimately what we've learned is how many false positives you get from listening to what someone says they're going to do instead of observing what they actually do.

Brad D. Smith

Until you have bred dogs and have drawn and painted them, it is difficult to realize that no two are identical in conformation. You need do no more than gun for a day over two of them to recognize that each is an individual. It requires the intimacy of daily living with a dog to know the subtle quality of his mind, the ham-smell of his ears, and that his wet nose in your mouth tastes salty.

George Bird Evans

Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth.

Benjamin Disraeli

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Epictetus

Even those with unspendable fortunes only have one mind, one mouth, two ears, two eyes and one pleasure station. There's only so much fun you can take.

Tibor Fischer

Listen twice as much as you talk, since you were born with two ears and one mouth.

Terri Farley

The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen the more and talk the less.

Zeno of Citium

Why did God give me two ears and one mouth? So that I will hear more and talk less.

Leo Rosten

Physicist is both to my mouth and ears so awkward that I think I shall never use it. The equivalent of three separate sounds of "I" in one word is too much.

Michael Faraday

They will listen with both ears to what is said by the men just a step or two ahead of them, who stand nearest to them, and within arm's reach. A guide ceases to be of any use when he strides so far ahead as to be hidden by the curvature of the earth.
