Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.
Great speakers are not born, they're trained.
If we speak poorly about that which we do well... people will assume we perform poorly!
A talk is a voyage. It must be charted. The speaker who starts nowhere, usually gets there.
Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.
Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.
Always have something to say. The man who has something to say and who is known never to speak unless he has, is sure to be listened to.�
Tell the audience what you're going to say, say it; then tell them what you've said.
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious / because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible.
