JAMES HUMES

Never give less to your ally than your opponent is giving to that ally.

Most speakers speak ten minutes too long.

The art of communication is the language of leadership.

I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel.

Churchill wrote his own speeches. When a leader does that, he becomes emotionally invested with his utterances...If Churchill had had a speech write in 1940, Britain would be speaking German today.

Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.

One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.
