Great quote. It sounds like a good bookend for “Be done speaking before your audience is done listening.” | |||

Thank you for continuing to share these. Read this in a book recently. Not sure if attribution should go to the author or the character: “Whether I am optimistic or pessimistic does not change the outcome. But it makes me feel better to remain optimistic until everything is decided.” Liked it enough to save it though... | |||

Very good advice. Not always easy to accomplish. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Both good and worth noting or remembering. I especially appreciate things well said but brief. The following example - Being a Navy vet, this gets attributed to Gibbs on NCIS - “If you’re not early you’re late”. | |||

My favorite way to start speaking (to a crowd) is "I'll be brief", then do it. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||
