Voice Quotations
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
Maya Angelou
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
William Shakespeare
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.
Mahatma Gandhi
The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
Theodore Roosevelt
Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes," he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. "Shake it off. Stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'. We are going to press on. We have work to do.
Barack Obama
