Prattle Quotes
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
- Epictetus
Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.
- Abraham Lincoln
Infancy conforms to nobody: all conform to it, so that one babe commonly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a rabbi. I am an Orthodox rabbi. I was ordained an Orthodox rabbi, at the age of 18. I am writing a book on the Talmud, right now. This isn't being said, out of some liberal prattle: It's being said from the very essence and the heart of our religion.
- Arthur Hertzberg

- Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
Good people walk on whatever befall, the good do not prattle, longing for pleasure.
- Friedrich Max Muller
Considering how foolishly people act and how pleasantly they prattle, perhaps it would be better for the world if they talked more and did less.
- W. Somerset Maugham
(Turbo-charged folk) comes from the energy that we create. Unfortunately, folk music can be boring. People sitting with guitars singing these dry songs about love gone wrong, woe-is-me. It's somewhat self-indulgent. Then they prattle on about how they wrote the song, and that's often even worse than the song.
