You watch the Supreme Court in action on these cases, and they are a conflicted court. However, when it comes to speech issues generally, the court has been protective.

Quotes by Jay Alan Sekulow

Behold how Christ is the foundation of the church and the apostles are the foundations! Christ is by a figure of speech - antonomastice - the foundation because the edifice of the church begins from him and is finished in him and through him. But the prophets and apostles are the foundations because their authority bears up our weakness.

Quotes by Jan Hus

In rendering its decision in our case, the Supreme Court equated money with speech because these days it takes the first to make yourself heard.

Quotes by James L. Buckley

I try to write in plain brown blocks of American speech but occasionally set in an ancient word or a strange word just to startle the reader a little bit and to break up the monotony of the plain American cadence.

Quotes by J. L. Austin

No one ever complains about a speech being too short!

Quotes by Ira Hayes

I have a speech impediment because I slur a lot, and they even make fun of me on 'Cougar Town' because there's certain word combinations that I just can't say.

Quotes by Ian Gomez

I believe in poetic discourse, in the value of speech in a non-naturalistic way; it's speculative.

Quotes by Howard Barker

Everybody favours free speech in the slack moments when no axes are being ground.

Quotes by Heywood Broun

It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.

Quotes by Herbert Hoover

When I was a kid - and I don't know why, it's the most random thing - I wanted to be a speech therapist for little kids. I knew I wanted to do something with kids.

Quotes by Harry Dean Stanton

By placing discretion in the hands of an official to grant or deny a license, such a statute creates a threat of censorship that by its very existence chills free speech.

Quotes by Harry A. Blackmun

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.

Quotes by Harold Pinter

This identity, this mind, this particular cast of speech, is nearly over.

Quotes by Harold Brodkey

Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.

Quotes by Hannah Arendt

Toward the end of the 1964 presidential campaign, Reagan gives a speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater. It was like a screen test for a new career.

Quotes by H. W. Brands

Obama has been perhaps the most partisan President since Truman. He hasn't learned to be civil - note his insulting speech to Paul Ryan, who did us the courtesy of scoring a budget. The president has to talk to Republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. He has reached the debt ceiling before anyone expected.

Quotes by Grover Norquist

He knew the lie of silence to be as evil as the lie of speech.

Quotes by Gilbert Parker

When a man is asked to make a speech, the first thing he has to decide is what to say.

Quotes by Gerald R. Ford

Quotes by George Savile

In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.

George Orwell

Speech is the small change of silence.

Quotes by George Meredith

In all sincere speech there is power, not necessarily great power, but as much as the speaker is capable of.

Quotes by George Henry Lewes

I suffered from a quite severe speech impediment when I was young, and keeping a journal was part of the therapy.

Quotes by George Fetherling

Breathing is fundamental to speech. A stammer is caused by erratic airflow, so if you have a smooth airflow, you have smooth speech.

Quotes by Gareth Gates

Speech and having a stammer is obviously a big part of my life.

Quotes by Gareth Gates

I've been working hard: lots of therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, yoga too.

Quotes by Gabrielle Giffords

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

Quotes by Frederick Douglass

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion all have a double aspect - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

Quotes by Frank Murphy

Storytelling, in print or speech, needs vital energy.

Quotes by Frank Delaney

I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten.

Quotes by Francis Ford Coppola

Growing up, I was constantly labeled an 'oreo' by my black peers because of my proper speech and 'valley girl accent.'

Quotes by Franchesca Ramsey

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them.

Quotes by Fran Lebowitz

The only reason I signed on for a speech and drama course was because I thought it would be easy, but as soon as I stepped on the stage, I thought, 'This is exactly where I belong.'

Quotes by F. Murray Abraham

Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.

Quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I write in a slangy colloquial speech that has not been common in the Israeli tradition of writing, and that is one of the things that gets lost a little in translation.

Quotes by Etgar Keret

Silence is safer than speech.

Quotes by Epictetus

In nations where the voices of intolerance are most visible and momentarily powerful, it is in our long run interests to remain firm in our clear articulation that the use of violence in response to speech is to be condemned.

Quotes by Eliot Spitzer

Practicing free speech on an open platform is a perilous path for any public figure, and there are no get-out-of-jail free passes in the court of public opinion.

Quotes by Elaine Welteroth

We are living in an open world. There is a freedom of speech and, clearly, freedom of speculation.

Quotes by Ehud Barak

Silence may be as variously shaded as speech.

Quotes by Edith Wharton

I thought I would lose, so I didn't prepare a speech.

Quotes by E. L. Doctorow

Every couple of seconds out here they're honoring somebody. You've got to get dressed, go in and sit down. Invariably somebody makes a speech.

Quotes by Dom DeLuise

We have freedom of speech, and anybody's idea can't be a fact.

Quotes by Disha Patani

The strangest thing that human speech and human writing can do is create a metaphor. That is an amazing leap, is it not?

Quotes by Dennis Potter

Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to annihilating the Jewish state. It runs a theocratic totalitarian state in Gaza, with no individual liberty, and no freedom of speech or press.

Quotes by Dennis Prager

All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action.

Quotes by Demosthenes

It's much easier to read the stories that have a lot of dialogue; of course, they flow much more easily into speech.

Quotes by Debbie Allen

Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.

Quotes by Debbie Harry

Free speech is against governments, not against the NBA. So the players and coaches and indeed owners have been fined for their speech, which is costly rather than free. I sort of acknowledge that there is not free speech when you agree to work in the NBA.

Quotes by David Stern

There's been very little writing about speech impediments, even though it's this huge psychological barrier.

Quotes by David Mitchell

One of the things that writing and speech can do is express what we're thinking one thought at a time.

Quotes by David Lipsky

Donald Trump tests the limits of campaign speech. He makes false statements and refuses to correct them. He attacks other religions and ethnic groups, inflaming domestic tension and foreign terrorist rage.

Quotes by David Ignatius

A presidential speech is always the work of many hands.

Quotes by David Frum

Events don't happen because I write a speech. I am allowed to write a speech because events are going to happen.

Quotes by David Frum

Quotes by Dave Rubin

No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.

Quotes by Daniel Webster

One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.

Quotes by Danica Patrick

Quotes by Cyndi Lauper

Quotes by Colby Covington

Quotes by Colby Covington

Pinhead needed to say goodbye. He had a farewell speech to make. It was truly as simple as that.

Quotes by Clive Barker

The adjective is the banana peel of the parts of speech.

Quotes by Clifton Fadiman

Acceptance speeches can make or break presidential candidacies. It was Al Gore's 2000 acceptance speech that relaunched his candidacy and nearly saved him. John Kerry's speech and overall ineffective convention nearly sank him in 2004 (though he was almost saved by the debates).

Quotes by Chuck Todd

George Orwell's contention was that it is a sure sign of trouble when things can no longer be called by their right names and described in plain, forthright speech.

Quotes by Christopher Lasch

When the public's right to know is threatened, and when the rights of free speech and free press are at risk, all of the other liberties we hold dear are endangered.

Quotes by Christopher Dodd

I have known John McCain personally since 1982. I wrote a well-received speech for him.

Quotes by Christopher Buckley

As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts. And so it was that they soon understood us, and we them, either by speech or by signs, and they have been very serviceable.

Quotes by Christopher Columbus

I indeed had only one scene, one speech, one little speech, but it was with Robin Williams.

Quotes by Charles Keating

Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech.

Quotes by Charles Bradlaugh

Fighting is an expression. It's a form of speech, and that's why they call it martial arts. It's an art.

Quotes by Chael Sonnen

I tried four times to get into the Central School of Speech and Drama before I got accepted. I started when I was 17, which was too young, in retrospect, and finally went when I was 21. I just kept plugging away. Determined? Yeah, I think I was.

Quotes by Catherine Tate

Every regulatory speech on derivatives takes a bow to their hedging 'benefits.' Less publicly, regulators pay their respects to derivative profits, a blessed relief from the banks' troubled loans to less-developed countries, highly leveraged companies, and real estate swingers.

Quotes by Carol Loomis

European values, civil rights, freedom of speech, freedom of informatio,n and freedom of assembly are being violated by Spain's central government.

Quotes by Carles Puigdemont

In the documentary 'Facing Ali,' nearly half the fighters involved required subtitles despite speaking English, their speech slurred by the physical toll of their ring lives. This was their reward for testing their furthermost physical and mental boundaries.

Quotes by Brin-Jonathan Butler

I like all things grammatical, and I had already written several books about parts of speech, and even the alphabet, so everything that makes up a sentence and even a word was covered except for punctuation.

Quotes by Brian P. Cleary

I've discovered this new electronic technique that creates new speech out of stuff that's already there.

Quotes by Brett Gelman

A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority.

Quotes by Brendan Behan

If candidates spend money on ads and other political speech and their opponents are rewarded with government handouts to attack them, that chills speech and is unconstitutional. Non-participating candidates certainly don't volunteer to allow their opponents to receive taxpayer subsidies to bash them.

Quotes by Bradley A. Smith

When I give a speech, I tell it like a story.

Quotes by Brad Parscale

I'm not trying to make a speech on CD because who wants to buy that?

Quotes by Boots Riley

For computer communications, computers talk in little bursts. They're not continuous like speech.

Quotes by Bob Kahn

Quotes by Benjamin Franklin

As to Magyar, I think that my speech was incorrect, inappropriate.

Quotes by Bela Kun
