Neel Burton
“To be a good speaker, you need to be a good thinker. To be a good thinker, you need to be a good human being. And to be a good human being, you need to love the truth and the world more than you love your sorry self.”
Neel Burton, How to Think Like Plato and Speak Like Cicero

Mark Twain
“There is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus and upset the convictions and debauch the emotions of an audience not practiced in the tricks and delusions of oratory.”
Mark Twain, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Short Works
