My way is to talk to my opponent so he makes it a personal thing. He starts playing me one-on-one, and forgets about his team. Meanwhile, I'm still playing team ball and eating him up. Some guys tried talking back, but you can't get a talker when a talker's talking to you.

Gary Payton

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 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

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

I'm more of a listener than a talker.

Norman Reedus

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.

Brenda Ueland

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

Lisa Ling

I'm very thankful, hearing impairment or not, that I've brought listening into my life. I will never say that I'm a good listener, however. Thinking that I was a good listener was one thing that kept me from being a good listener. It's a very dangerous thought. I just want to be better.

Gordon Hempton

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

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

I'm not a trash talker, I like to do all my talking with my fists in the ring.

Daniel Dubois

The best thing I could say is you do have to be a really good listener. If I go to a family reunion, and there's 400 people there, everybody comes up and tells me their stories, right? And I think that when you're a good listener, and you can imagine how someone's talking, dialogue is your key friend, is it not?

Susan Straight

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

If you really watch 'The Voice' and follow Adam, he's very ADD. He's kind of one place here, and then he's over here the next minute; he's kind of all over the place. When it comes down to being very serious, and especially when we were talking about the finale song, he's actually very serious, and he's a very good listener.

Christina Grimmie

I heard my mother talking badly of me to people who were talking badly of me in her salon. That's probably the thing that I'm most sensitive of in all my friendships and my relationships. I just... I just can't take that. I'm comfortable with enemies, but I can't take it from friends.
