7 entries
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Statesman
A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail... Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.
Charles Horton Cooley, American Sociologist
In oratory the will must predominate.
David Hare, English Playwright (1947- )
Next to fried foods, the South has suffered most from oratory.
Brooks Hays, American Politician (1898-1981)
The object of oratory alone in not truth, but persuasion.
Thomas B. Macaulay, English Historian
Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.
Emily Post, American Author (1872-1960)

John Vinocur, French Journalist
