You can't talk your way out of something you behaved your way into. You have to behave your way out of it. Douglas Conant, CEO of Campbell Soup
Here is a second good quote by Benjamin Disraeli speaking of William Gladstone (the two were fierce rivals as British Statemen of a previous century).
He (Gladstone pictured to the right) is "inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity." (Disraeli who is pictured to the left.)
Even those leaders who are exuberantly verbose (and proud of it) are not able to talk themselves out of something they behaved themselves into.
Is there anything you need to "behave your way out of?"
