Famous quotes containing the word speak:
“As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: “You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II,” or “If I hear that word again, I’m going to braid your tongue.””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“When I speak of The Case for Equality I mean human equality; and that, of course, can only mean one thing: it means equality of income.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
