It is one thing to be eloquent and charming in profane speech, and another when the one speaking as a religious.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Religious speech is extreme, emotional, and motivational. It is anti-literal, relying on metaphor, allusion, and other rhetorical devices, and it assumes knowledge within a community of believers.
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
Great wisdom is generous; petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
Virtue, perhaps, is nothing more than politeness of soul.
People are very sincere in their praise, and you can't take it lightly.
In an easy matter. Anybody can be eloquent.
I'm a great admirer of secularism. At its best, I think it's one of the best things that we have. I don't believe in insinuating religion into conversation. I don't believe in excluding it from conversation. I enjoy the fact that people's innermost thoughts are their own.
It's never what you say, but how you make it sound sincere.
No one ever became, or can become truly eloquent without being a reader of the Bible, and an admirer of the purity and sublimity of its language.
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.
