Quotes About Public Speaking – John Ford – the creator of famous movies with heart

You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.  -John Ford

I vividly recall becoming acutely aware of who John Ford was and the extent of his talent when I saw “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” with John Wayne and James Stewart. My husband was shocked when he learned I had never seen it. While I was never a big fan of John Wayne, this movie really touched me.  Talk about a movie with heart.  And, of course, most of John Ford’s movies are extraordinary and meaningful.

Wikipedia says of John Ford:

“John Ford (February 1, 1894 – August 31, 1973)[1] was an Irish-American film director. He was famous for both his Westerns such as Stagecoach, The Searchers, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and adaptations of such classic 20th-century American novels as The Grapes of Wrath. His four Academy Awards for Best Director (1935, 1940, 1941, 1952) is a record, and one of those films, How Green Was My Valley, also won Best Picture….he is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of his generation.”

Indeed, John Ford was a masterful communicator.
