Communication Quotes and Proverbs
Doc Childre
Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart
Being vulnerable doesn’t have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest.

As you learn to Freeze-Frame highly-charged emotions, you also learn to communicate directly to people without the extra voltage that can cause them to be defensive, while frying your nerves and draining your energy bank.
David McArthur and Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart
People have important things to communicate. Speaking from your heart allows the emotionally difficult, the ordinary, and the wonderful things in our lives to be communicated and received.
Alfred Kadushin
The relationship is the communication bridge between people.

Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals.
Fran Lebowitz
The opposite of talking is not listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.
Native American

There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for. And questions are the breath of life for a conversation.
John Lahr
Accustomed to the veneer of noise, to the shibboleths of promotion, public relations, and market research, society is suspicious of those who value silence.
Every person in this life has something to teach me – and as soon as I accept that, I open myself to truly listening.
Thanks to Catherine Doucette
Brenda Ueland
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force…When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life…When we listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other…and it is this little creative fountain inside us that begins to spring and cast up new thoughts and unexpected laughter and wisdom. …Well, it is when people really listen to us, with quiet facinated attention, that the little fountain begins to work again, to accelerate in the most surprising way. 
Oliver Wendell Holmes
It is the province of knowledge to speak And it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
Henry David Thoreau
The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.
M. Scott Peck
You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.
Wilson Mizner
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something.
Edward H. Richards
The wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard:
Why can’t we all be like that bird?
Unknown
Well done is better than well said.
Unknown
When you are arguing with a fool, make sure he isn’t doing the same thing.
Robert Greenleaf
Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much.
Robert C. Murphy
To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened.
Wilson Mizner
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.
Dr Joyce Brothers
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery.
Nancy Kerrigan
Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.
A. A. Milne
If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
D.J. Kaufman
Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening … when you’d have preferred to talk.
Josh Billings
The best time to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust.
