If you want to be an orator, first get your great cause.

It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well.

I consider myself something of a raconteur. I have a rather audacious sense of humour.

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.

I'm a performer.

Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.

Oratory is the masterful art. Poetry, painting, music, sculpture, architecture please, thrill, inspire - but oratory rules. The orator dominates those who hear him, convinces their reason, controls their judgment, compels their action. For the time being, he is master.

Our swords shall play the orators for us.

I'm quite a disciplinarian: I can be a shouter. But I can be a very demonstrative kisser and hugger.
