Communication & Rhetoric
- As a guy who has done damage, I don’t want to do any more damage. I know what I did. I helped divide. Please don’t make the mistakes I made.
- I have a few concerns/edits: Instead of ‘U.S. government’s illegal spying operations,’ I’d propose ‘U.S. government’s controversial intelligence gathering’… I would replace ‘misuse of power’ with ‘actions.’
- Dear young people, we didn't come into this world to 'vegetate’, to take it easy, to make our lives a comfortable sofa to fall asleep on. No, we came for another reason: To leave a mark.
- It just shouldn’t have happened… This was an easy home run speech: a successful, attractive immigrant talking about her husband.
- America didn’t become the richest country in the world by practicing socialism, or the strongest country by denigrating its governing institutions, or the most talent-filled country by stoking fear of immigrants.
- Hate speech against migrants is an important part of what we now have no tolerance for on Facebook.
- To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation: we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and to fight for equal rights for women in America.
- Vaccines are to measles what responsible gun storage is to child shootings. The onus is on adults to protect children.
- Listen to yourself, and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
- Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.
- She slept with wolves without fear, for the wolves knew a lion was among them.
- When out of all the poets who received the Pulitzer -- the prize awarded to those who made the biggest contributions to the human spirit -- 38 percent of them were bipolar, how can we simply label it a human disorder? Think how much more they could contribute to the human spirit if they knew it could be used as a gift to humanity, instead of something to hide from humanity?
