Talking

'O Tiger-lily,' said Alice... 'I wish you could talk!'
'We can talk,' said the Tiger-lily:  'when there's anybody worth talking to."

The things you do not have to say make you rich.

Saying the things you do not have to say weakens your talk.

Hearing the things you do not have to hear dulls your hearing.

And the things you know before you hear them; these are you and the reason you are in the world.

The Lord talks to everyone but most people do not know how to listen.

Talk is no substitute for doing. If you know how, why you have to talk?

O tongue you are an endless treasure.
O tongue, you are also an endless disease.

We shook hands. Norm’s hand felt like salted mackerel. Our brief interaction had put him in a talkative mood. “There’s no business like shoe business,” he uttered with a death rattle laugh, heh heh, peering at me sideways like a depraved cherub as he droned on and on about the good old days in the shoe business, the bonus money and the belles whose stockinged ankles he fondled when he could still get a boner … but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn’t stop thinking about Luke Soloman, Luke Soloman, Luke Soloman. Who was this character?

Who talks by silence, does the most.

It occurs to me that our survival may depend upon our talking to one another.

Talking about things won't get them done.

When we're told a person needs a good talking to, it usually means they need a good listening to.
