I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.

Public speaking? I speak to myself on the street!

When speaking, be clear, be brief and be memorable.

If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.

The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue. [Ecclesiasticus 28:17 --18].

The public is a ferocious beast: one must either chain it up or flee from it.
