"Treasury of Humorous Quotations" puts the perfect quote for every occasion right at your fingertips. After-Dinner Speeches: An after-dinner speech should be like a lady??'s dress: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be interesting (p. 11). Conferences: A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing but together can decide that nothing can be done (Fred Allen, p. 53). Writing: Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead (Gene Fowler, p. 228). Impromptu Speeches: It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech (Mark Twain, p. 119). Conversations: The art of conversation is not knowing what you ought to say but what one ought not to say (p. 56). Speeches: Speeches are like babies--easy to conceive but hard to deliver (Pat O???Malley, p. 200). |
