Speech

When a thing has been said and well said, have no scruple; take it and copy it

Let us, then, be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things keep ourselves loyal to the truth

Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.

When in doubt tell the truth

There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press

The less people speak of their greatness, the more we think of it

England and America are two countries separated by the same language

The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed

Action speaks louder than words.
