Quotes:

"The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency. It proceeds from not knowing what is going on in other people's minds." - Walter Bagehot

"I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity." - Marcus T. Cicero

"No man ever listened himself out of a job." - Calvin Coolidge

"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Well, well, perhaps I am a bit of a talker. A popular fellow such as I am -- my friends get round me -- we chaff, we sparkle, we tell witty stories -- and somehow my tongue gets wagging. I have the gift of conversation. I've been told I ought to have a salon, whatever that may be." - Kenneth Grahame

"We never say so much as when we do not quite know what we want to say. We need few words when we have something to say, but all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice when we have nothing to say and want desperately to say it." - Eric Hoffer
