Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.
Benjamin Franklin – Orator, Preacher
A good orator is pointed and impassioned.
Cicero – Orator
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Cicero – Admiraion, Orator
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Marcus Tulius Cicero – Orators
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners.
