Eloquence Quotes and Quotations
Eloquence is the poetry of prose. The manner of your speaking is full as important as the matter, as more people have ears to be tickled than understandings to judge. Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid. Thoughts that breathe and words that burn. True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
