The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble.
The medium is the message.
The greatest enemy of communication is the illusion of it.

The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.
The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
The art of communication is the language of leadership.
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.
I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.
Words are but pictures of our thoughts.

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.
You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere.
To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
