Speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.

Albert Mehrabian (born 1939, currently Professor Emeritus of Psychology, UCLA),
has become very well known by his publications on the relative importance of ver
bal and nonverbal messages - ie. body language.
His findings on inconsistent messages of feelings and attitudes have been quoted
throughout human communication seminars worldwide, and have also become known a
s the 7%-38%-55% Rule.
Professor Albert Mehrabian has been quoted for many years saying that our body l
anguage must be congruent with our message because our words convey only 7% of t
he meaning, our vocal expression 38% and our body language a whopping 55% of wha
t the audience will remember and believe!
According to Dr Albert Mehrabian there are basically three elements in any commu
nication: Words, Vocal Expression and Body Language.
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only
words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alo
ne.
Audrey Hepburn
Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the se
ed of either success or failure in the mind of another.
Napoleon Hill
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to sa
y something.
