Quote by William Shakespeare

A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.

A gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, will speak more

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who excessively enjoy the sound of their own voice tend to talk more in a single minute than they are willing to listen and engage in conversation for an entire month. It highlights the idea that some people are more focused on their own opinions and thoughts rather than valuing the input of others, often dominating conversations and neglecting the importance of active listening and balanced communication.

The riches of life, the love and joy and exhilaration of life can be found only with an upward look. This is an exciting world. It's cram-packed with opportunity. Great moments wait around every corner.

I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here, or little stuff like, 'Why aren't I happier?' With every film I feel like I'm apologising for something. I feel I'm most successful when I'm looking for something that embarrasses me about my character that I'd like to expose.

I have told you that, no matter how many times you have refused to enter the sanctuary, you have only to knock and the door will be opened to you. I have said to you Ask and it shall be given you, but you refuse to believe in me. You think that someone is counting your sins, your moments of indecision or recalcitrance, but it is not true. You are the only one counting.I say to you brother, stop counting, stop making excuses, stop pretending that the door is locked. I am here at the threshold. Reach out and take my hand and we will open the door and walk through together.I am the door to love without conditions. When you walk through, you too will be the door.http://www.paulferrini.com/html/door.html
