No one would
talk much in society if they knew how often they
misunderstood others.
-- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Dramatist, Novelist
Every
absurdity has a champion to defend it; for error is always
talkative.

I've noticed
two things about men who get big salaries. They are almost
invariably men who, in conversation or in conference, are
adaptable. They quickly get the other fellow's view. They
are more eager to do this than to express their own ideas.
Also, they state their own point of view convincingly.
-- John Hallock
The time to
stop talking is when the other person nods his head
affirmatively, but says nothing.
-- Henry S. Haskins
