Famous quotes containing the word speaker:

    “Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
