It is but a poor eloquence which only shows that the orator can talk.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.
It is true the orator may make a myriad replica of his own passion out of those who listen to him. But that does not prove he is right or they are not fools.
An orator without judgment is a horse without a bridle.
Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak, and to speak well, are two things.
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.
There is a tendency to underestimate the power of what we can do without words. Sometimes you can make a scene even more powerful and precise without dialogue.
An orator is the worse person to tell a plain fact.
