"He is an eloquent man who can..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“It is difficult to set bounds to the price unless you first set bounds to the wish.”

“The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.”

“The leaders should all relate to this principle: the governed must be as happy as possible.”

“However much we admire the orator's occasional bursts of eloquence, the noblest written words are commonly as far behind or abovethe fleeting spoken language as the firmament with its stars is behind the clouds.”

“One who has accumulated virtue will certainly also possess eloquence; but he who has eloquence doe not necessarily possess virtue.”

“One always speaks badly when one has nothing to say.”

“No one's mouth is big enough to utter the whole thing.”

“The kind of person other people perceive you to be controls their responses to you.”

“Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window; if heavy, it will obscure the light.”
