Talk

No man would listen to you talk if he didn't known it was his turn next.
- Edgar Watson Howe, 1853 - 1937

Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit.
- François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, 1613 - 1680

We talk on principle, but we act on interest.
- Walter Savage Landor, 1775 - 1864

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, and thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, philosophy, and religion all in one.
- Eudora Welty, 1909 - 2001

I like a friend the better for having faults that one can talk about.
- William Hazlitt, 1778 - 1830
