“Forewarn'd, forearm'd.”

“Utterance is the evidence of foregone study.”

“I'm going to make a long speech because I've not had the time to prepare a short one.”

“There is no true orator who is not a hero.”

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

“Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer's avenue to the public.”
