Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.”

“He cannot flatter, he,
An honest mind and plain, he must speak truth!
And they will take it, so; if not, he’s plain.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“We all have—to put it as nicely as I can—our lower centres and our higher centres. Our lower centres act: they act with terrible power that sometimes destroys us; but they don’t talk.... Since the war the lower centres have become vocal. And the effect is that of an earthquake. For they speak truths that have never been spoken before—truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
