When people talk, it seems like all talk is the same. But these speeches are of two kinds, absolutely different from the point of view of the causes that cause them, and from the point of view of the consequences. Generally, people talk only to give free rein to their feelings. That is empty talk; the second occurs when people speak to convey an idea to another for his benefit. That is good speech.

Romanian

"Când oamenii vorbesc, pare ca orice vorbire e același lucru. Dar aceste vorbiri sunt de două feluri, absolut diferite și din punctul de vedere al cauzelor care le provoacă, și din cel al consecințelor. În general, oamenii vorbesc numai pentru a da frâu liber sentimentelor. Asta e vorbăria goală; a doua apare atunci când oamenii vorbesc pentru a transmite altuia o idee spre folosul lui. Asta e vorbirea bună."
