Toastmaster Words of Wisdom

"The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.— George Jessel

"There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you."
— Winston Churchill

"The duty of a toastmaster is to be so dull that the succeeding speakers will appear brilliant by contrast."
— Clarence B. Kelland

"Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening."
— Dorothy Sarnoff

Every speaker has a mouth;
An arrangement rather neat.
Sometimes it's filled with wisdom.
Sometimes it's filled with feet.
— Robert Orben
