Speech is the best show a man puts on.

He has the merit — if it is one — of saying exactly what he means.

Surely a Man may speak Truth with a smiling countenance.

...the voice was indisputable. It continued to swear with that breadth and variety that distinguishes the swearing of a cultivated man.

Lane was speaking now as someone does who has been monopolizing conversation for a good quarter of an hour or so and who believes he has just hit a stride where his voice can do absolutely no wrong.

A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things.

It's hard to not like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them.

There was such sanity in his voice; a politician’s sanity, as he sold his flock the wisdom of the bomb. This soulless certainty was more chilling than hysteria or malice.
