Not to waste time on nonsense. Not to be taken in by conjurors and hoodoo artists with their talk about incantations and exorcism and all the rest of it. Not to be obsessed with quail-fighting or other crazes like that. Marcus Aurelius

Not afraid of poverty and drabness and who is untouched by it, untouched by the drunkenness of her friends; (she) who judges, selects, discards people with severity, who knows, when she is telling her endless anecdotes, that they are ways of escape, keeping herself all the more secret behind that profuse talk. Anais Nin

Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about. Haruki Murakami
Talked my head off. Worked my tail off. Cried my eyes out. Walked my feet off. Sang my heat out. So you see, There's really not much left of me. Shel Silverstein
Carlos Ghosn quote: "Talking about stepping down in five years is frankly not a..."
Talking about stepping down in five years is frankly not a topic of particular actuality now. Carlos Ghosn
Talking back and being quite aggressive about stuff and not giving a care in the world about anyone. So it was more, I think, that way and I think that's what happened in that party when I stood in between two people. Caroline Dhavernas
William Shakespeare quote: "Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well;..."
Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds. William Shakespeare
