All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead (Gene Fowler, p. 228). <P> Impromptu Speeches: It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech (Mark Twain, p. 119). <P> Conversations: The art of conversation is not knowing what you ought to say but what one ought not to say (p. 56). <P> Speeches: Speeches are like babies--easy to conceive but hard to deliver (Pat O'Malley, p. 200).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Speeches are like babies--easy to conceive but hard to deliver."<br>
