External Speech

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or speech:

    When a person hasn’t in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog’s bark in every sound.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.
