Two Quotes on Public Speaking

Unfortunately, this is what most people think about public speaking:

Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary.

[ Evan Esar ]

However, the secret of a successful speaker is this:

Be sincere; be brief; be seated.

[ Franklin D. Roosevelt ]

Always leave your audience with more questions than answers. And with the true desire to find those answers.
