Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Were such things here as we do speak about,
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“To speak in a flat voice
Is all that I can do.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)
