U.S.A. is the speech of the people.
John Dos Passos

Look wise, say nothing, and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
William Osler

An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness, for speech is itself a critique of life: it names, it characterizes, it passes judgment, in that it creates.
Thomas Mann

If Thomas Jefferson had heard us, he probably would have said, 'We shouldn't have free speech.'
Robin Quivers

You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
Bob Geldof

Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.
Laurence J. Peter

I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten.
Francis Ford Coppola

I have learned that it is far easier to write a speech about good advertising than it is to write a good ad.
Leo Burnett

Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years it's a name that the streets taught me a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment and I feel I've done quite a bit with that name and it's time to expand and move on.
Mos Def

Rick Perry

But please know, whether you believe campaign contributions are speech or property, that I learned to love very dearly the right of free expression when I lived without that freedom for a while a long time ago.
John McCain

A great speech is literature.
Peggy Noonan

And what do Democrats stand for, if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the "mob" - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals. I thought my party was populist, attentive to the needs and wishes of those outside the power structure. And as a product of the 1960s, I thought the Democratic party was passionately committed to freedom of thought and speech.
Camille Paglia

Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
Louis D. Brandeis

No woman can be handsome by the force of features alone, any more that she can be witty by only the help of speech.
Kin Hubbard

The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency. It proceeds from not knowing what is going on in other people's minds.
Walter Bagehot

Speech is the mirror of the soul.
Publilius Syrus

I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and fairness in journalism.
Kate Adie

Speech is the mirror of action.
Solon

Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.
Alfred North Whitehead
