Listening quotes -1

"If speaking is silver, then listening is gold."

— Turkish Proverb

"Effective listeners remember that "words have no meaning - people have meaning." The assignment of meaning to a term is an internal process; meaning comes from inside us. And although our experiences, knowledge and attitudes differ, we often misinterpret each other’s messages while under the illusion that a common understanding has been achieved."

— Larry Barker
