Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn’t speak a single word that doesn’t come straight from his heart.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

“We must be free or die, who speak the tongue
That Shakespeare spake; the faith and morals hold
Which Milton held.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Webster never goes behind government, and so cannot speak with authority about it. His words are wisdom to those legislators who contemplate no essential reform in the existing government; but for thinkers, and those who legislate for all time, he never once glances at the subject.... Comparatively, he is always strong, original, and, above all, practical. Still, his quality is not wisdom, but prudence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
