Be silent and listen

Be silent and listen

Is it just a coincidence that the words "Silent" and "Listen" contain the same letters? The keys to success are: be brief, be silent and listen. This book contains famous quotations, cartoons and jokes about silence and listening. It also contains levity about brevity.

Learning to listen has taken me a lifetime. I hope that you learn it earlier than I.

“My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief.”

– William Shakespeare

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

– James Baldwin

“The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible.”

– George Burns

“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are.”

– Alice Cooper
