Writing Quotes
In dialogue, make sure that your attributives do not awkwardly interrupt a spoken sentence. Place them where the breath would come naturally in speech-that is, where the speaker would pause for emphasis, or take a breath. The best test for locating an attributive is to speak the sentence aloud.

Thinking Quotes
I've looked at all of Hitler's speeches thinking that there's gotta be one where he's 'I'm Hitler!', but there weren't any. His speeches were all about hope and prosperity - he ran on a platform of peace and prosperity. Hitler speeches that makes him sound like a villain are pretty hard to find, he was very detached from what he was doing, he kept himself compartmentalised from it.

Change Quotes
Whenever a president is in trouble, as this one is, the pundits and observers in Washington say, 'Don't just stand there, do something.' So they give a speech -- he's done that. They appoint a blue-ribbon commission -- he's done that. They change personnel -- they are doing that. The point is, that is not what really ails this administration. They've got a policy problem, and either they can change the policy or they have to hope the policy starts working better for them.

Amplify Quotes
You have to communicate on a much greater scale, ... With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. You're always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you're feeling. It's a little bit different from film.

America Quotes
The president's speech tonight used lofty, yet recycled, rhetoric to paint a picture of a country that has prospered and become stronger in this new century. Unfortunately, that's not the America his policies have created for too many families... A year ago, the president overreached by threatening to privatize and dismantle Social Security. This year, he reached for too little.

Analysis Quotes
When someone claims that we should make a security improvement at the expense of privacy or other values, we should apply ordinary analysis to make sure that the security payoff is really there. If we get little or no security improvement and a large infringement on free speech or other values, then we should be very careful. If there is a big security payoff, then we deserve to look at that more carefully,

Governor Quotes
The governor is a great speech maker and if speech making and high-flying rhetoric were things that make this state great, Michigan would be back. I'm an optimist, too. But after three years of lack of results, I wonder if the people of Michigan are getting tired of being told they have to wait some more.

Authority Quotes
The government may intend the non-disclosure provision to serve some purpose other than the suppression of speech, ... Nevertheless, it has the practical effect of silencing individuals with a constitutionally protected interest in speech and whose voices are particularly important in an ongoing national debate about the intrusion of governmental authority into individual lives.
-
Control Quotes
The government being the people's business, it necessarily follows that its operations should be at all times open to the public view. Publicity is therefore as essential to honest administration as freedom of speech is to representative government. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" is the maxim which should control in all departments of government.

Adequately Quotes
We alleged that the Rocker Defendants paid for and edited false and libelous reports from Gradient, pre-positioning themselves to profit from the expected downturn in Overstock's share price. We do not believe the legislature of California, in passing the Anti-SLAPP statute, had in mind protecting libelous speech -- bought and paid for by those who stood to profit handsomely from this type of activity. We believe the case law is on our side and are confident we have adequately answered the motions to move this case forward.

Came Quotes
We had a good speech last year at the end of the season saying we would raise the bar, ... I think every player kind of understood that. We came to camp ready to work. I don't think there's a key somewhere where you can say, 'This is what happened.' We came in, we gained a little confidence in exhibition games. From there, we haven't stopped working hard and trying our best.

Atlanta Quotes
When Coretta Scott King invited me to come to Atlanta and give a speech and sing at a tribute to her last year, I decided to write a song for her and sing it directly to her. I was studying her words and history, and I wrote 'The Courage in Your Eyes.' I look at those pictures of her standing with Dr. King -- she was a rock.

Breaking Quotes
Every American has the right to a peaceful protest and everyone has the right to express their views without breaking the law. Freedom of speech is obviously supported by the president and this White House. As far as our national security programs, those are built and funded to preserve and protect those freedoms.

Associated Quotes
Is Hillary Clinton as brilliant a politician as she's cracked up to be? Here's a bit of evidence for the negative: 'Clinton Says Lawyers Must Make Their Voices Heard in Washington' reads the headline of an Associated Press dispatch about a speech New York's junior senator gave at the American Bar Association convention in Chicago. Lawyers need to speak up more: Now there's a message sure to strike a chord with the public.

Became Quotes
It would have been a good resignation speech for a president leaving office because of illness, or for one who had lost congressional support because of differences over policies. It was not the speech of a president who had violated his constitutional oath and duty by obstructing justice, by abusing the power of his office, by transforming the Oval Office into a mean den where perjury and low scheming became a way of life.

Body Quotes
The students voted me student body president simply because they knew who I was, and part of that responsibility was making a speech in front of the entire school, ... I had a couple of teachers help me with it, and it ended up pushing me to do something I probably wouldn't have otherwise done. Once that happened, it didn't bother me to speak in public.
