Mark Twain on Communication"Truthful words are not beautiful beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive persuasive words are not good."

George Bernard Shaw on Communication"Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true."
