Rude am I in my speech, And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.
To prosper, a zoo needs parliamentary government, democratic elections, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, rule of law and everything else enshrined in India's Constitution. Impossible to enjoy the animals otherwise. Long-term, bad politics is bad for business.
I wonder what my speech would be.
A figure of speech is a shifty thing; it can be twisted or it can be straight.
Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.
An appeal to me in this fiendish row - is there? Very well; I hear; I admit, but I have a voice too, and for good or evil mine is the speech that cannot be silenced.
She felt that her speech was voicing the incoherency her thoughts, and stopped abruptly.
She wanted more, more slang, more figures of speech, the bee's knees, the cats pajamas, horse of a different color, dog-tired, she wanted to talk like she was born here, like she never came from anywhere else
And I remember in frequent discourses with my master concerning the nature of manhood, in other parts of the world, having occasion to talk of lying and false representationà For he argued thus; that the use of speech was to make us understand one another, and to receive information of facts; now if any one said the thing which was not, these ends were defeatedà àhe leaves me worse than in ignorance, for I am led to believe a thing black when it is white, and short when it is long.
Sometimes, a word succeeds beyond the wildest dreams of its creators, like a virus sent into the world to infect common speech.
I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.
His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origin of speech lie in song, and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul.
Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.
Speech is a rolling-mill that always thins out the sentiment.
Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid-necessarily goes to the roots of action? Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?
It was before him again in its completeness--the choice in which she was content to rest: in the stupid costliness of the food and the showy dulness of the talk, in the freedom of speech which never arrived at wit and the freedom of act which never made for romance.
Learning how to discipline your speech is a way of preventing your energies from spilling out of you through the rupture of your mouth, exhausting you and filling the world with words, words, words instead of serenity, peace and bliss.
She realises that if she is to save the show she is going to have to improvise a rousing speech, one of the many Henry V moments that make up her working life.
A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
When facing society, the man most concerned, the man who is to do the most and contribute the most, has the least to say. It's taken for granted that he has no voice and his reasons he could offer are rejected in advance as prejudiced--since no speech is ever considered, but only the speaker. It's so much easier to pass judgment on a man than an idea.
One of the justifications for this campaign is to preserve and expand the right of third parties and independent candidates to challenge the two-party duopoly system, ... I see it as a civil liberties issue of free speech.
When you throw dung on our Virgin Mother, it is hate speech, ... It is the same thing as drawing a swastika on a synagogue.
It's absurd to try to police demeaning speech. That's not what a free society does.

Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
Last year, Congress overwhelmingly called on President Bush to make 2006 a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty. The domestic public relations campaign waged by the White House and the new round of presidential speeches does not advance that goal.
Bay, let's go ahead and bring you in. There was a promise from the White House that we were going to hear unprecedented details in this speech. I don't know that we heard that.
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation, as allowed by Cicero himself, who says, 'there is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.' A well bred woman may easily and effectually promote the most useful and elegant conversation without speaking a word. The modes of speech are scarcely more variable than the modes of silence.
The long version of the play is actually an easier version to follow. In all of the cut versions the intense speeches are cut too close together for the audience and the actors.
We should always refrain from speaking harsh words that inflict pain. Our speech should be such that it gives joy to others.
This uranium issue is not just about 16 words in a speech. It is about whether administration officials made a conscious and very troubling decision to create a false impression about the gravity and imminence of the threat that Iraq posed to America.
Old or young, healthy as a horse or a person with a disability that hasn't kept you down, man or woman, Native American, native born, immigrant, straight or gay -- whatever the test ought to be I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. I believe in religious liberty. I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in working hard and playing by the rules. I'm showing up for work tomorrow. I'm building that bridge to the 21st century. That ought to be the test.
This statute, all parties agree, deals with protected speech, the preservation of which has been extolled by court after court in case after case as the keystone, the bulwark, the very heart of our democracy. What is more, the Communications Decency Act.
The peace plan outlined in the president's speech is a reasonable, pragmatic and practicable one.
Haven't you learned yet that I put something more than whisky into my speeches.
The concept is fine. We are concerned about it being a neutral statute. If you're going to have a restriction on speech, it has to be content neutral. It has to be reasonable. It can't be too broad. The main concern is that it specifically only protects or creates a zone around funerals involving the military.
We take our ethical and moral issues super-seriously. As an information company, freedom of speech and expression are fundamental to our purpose.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
I thought I would lose, so I didn't prepare a speech.
During the presidential primaries of 1940, I received a request from the Democratic National Committee to sing God Bless America before the speeches.
Committee chairman Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) set the easygoing tone early on. I am sure Senator Cohen knows all the answers to the questions he will hear today he has probably asked some of them in some hearings in the past, ... We may even get to hear excerpts of some of the speeches Senator Cohen made during his tenure in the Senate. I am sure he is looking forward to hearing those words again.
I remember the day vividly and how proud Russell felt to be an actor. Something clicked in him as he gave his last speech, and he was so happy.
President Bush must do more than give speeches, ... He must demonstrate leadership by saying no to his right-wing allies who want to close our borders and yes to the business community, labor unions and Hispanic Americans who want realistic and comprehensive immigration reform.
We don't think a person must get a 1 million policy for a nativity scene in the park. That clearly is a violation of free speech. We can see such a requirement for large events, such as parades.
The Bunbury Festival has been like a conveyor belt for England cricketers - and is the start of the production line. The minute we meet - on the first day of the Bunbury Festival, they get the speech and a handshake, and their Bunbury adventure starts. They become Bunburys for life.
Much speech is one thing, well-timed speech is another.
I saw myself as a facilitator. They knew specifically what freedom of speech was -- they could give you the textbook definition -- they had never had the opportunity to practice it.
The court said in its decision that messages on specialty license plates are government speech. This position is inconsistent with the reality of the license plate program. It suggests that plates for the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the University of Florida are state speech. This is absurd.
