Verbosity Quotes


These are some of the best 'Verbosity' quotations and sayings.


He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument.

Redundancy of language is never found with deep reflection. Verbiage may indicate observation, but not thinking. He who thinks much, says but little in proportion to his thoughts. He selects that language which will convey his ideas in the most explicit and direct manner. He tries to compress as much thought as possible into a few words. On the contrary, the man who talks everlastingly and promiscuously, who seems to have an exhaustless magazine of sound, crowds so many words into his thoughts that he always obscures, and very frequently conceals them.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.
