“Speech is the best show a man puts on.”

“Because God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.”

“It is one thing to show a man that he is in error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.”

“To talk about other people's affairs is a great mistake. To praise them, too, is unfttting. In any event, it is best to know your own ability well, to put forth effort in your endeavors, and to be discreet in speech.”

“The best speeches are those that hurt your mind, not your ear.”

“A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best.”

“He gave man speech, and speech created thought,
Which is the measure of the universe.”

“Johnson is dead. Let us go to the next best — there is nobody; no man can be said to put you in mind of Johnson.”

“A keyhole speech is very simple, especially mine. First it states the issues. An issue is just a difference of opinion, which is why we put erasers on horse races. And as I always say, as long as we have issues, we can’t have everything. Second, the speech goes on to attack the present administration and show how it has ruined the country. Then it goes on to attack the other candidates and show how they’ll keep it ruined, and generally builds up a warm and friendly atmosphere.”

“The fans have been really incredible everywhere we've been…. You want to make sure you put on the best concert of your life to show them how appreciative you are.”
