He adorned whatever subject he either spoke or wrote upon, by the most splendid eloquence.
~~~~~~~
He has oratory who ravishes his hearers while he forgets himself.
~~~~~~~
He is an eloquent man who can treat humble subjects with delicacy, lofty things impressively, and moderate things temperately. [Lat., Is enim est eloquens qui et humilia subtiliter, et magna graviter, et mediocria temperate potest dicere.]
~~~~~~~
He talked on for ever; and you wished him to talk on for ever.
~~~~~~~
He talked on forever; and you wished him to talk on forever.
~~~~~~~
Her tears her only eloquence.
~~~~~~~
Her words were like a stream of honey fleeting, The which doth softly trickle from the hive, Able to melt the hearer’s heart unweeting, And eke to make the dead again alive.
~~~~~~~
Here rills of oily eloquence in soft Meanders lubricate the course they take.
~~~~~~~
His eloquence is classic in its style, Not brilliant with explosive coruscations Of heterogeneous thoughts, at random caught, And scatter’d like a shower of shooting stars, That end in darkness: no;–his noble mind Is clear, and full, and stately, and serene. His earnest and undazzled eye he keeps Fix’d on the sun of Truth, and breathes his words As easily as eagles cleave the air; And never pauses till the height is won; And all who listen follow where he leads.
~~~~~~~
His eloquent tongue so well seconds his fertile invention that no one speaks better when suddenly called forth. His attention never languishes; his mind is always before his words; his memory has all its stock so turned into ready money that, without hesitation or delay, it supplies whatever the occasion may require.
~~~~~~~
His eye begets occasion for his wit; For every object that the one doth catch The other turns to a mirth-moving jest, Which his fair tongue, conceit’s expositor, Delivers in such apt and gracious words, That aged ears play truant at his tales, And younger hearings are quite ravished, So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
~~~~~~~
His tongue dropt manna, and could make the worse appear the better reason.
~~~~~~~
His words seem’d oracles That pierc’d their bosoms; and each man would turn And gaze in wonder on his neighbour’s face, That with the like dumb wonder answer’d him. You could have heard The beating of your pulses while he spoke.
~~~~~~~
Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.
~~~~~~~
How often in the halls of legislation does eloquence unmask corruption, expose intrigue, and overthrow tyranny! In the cause of mercy it is omnipotent. It is bold in the consciousness of its superiority, fearless and unyielding in the purity of its motives. All opposition it destroys; all power it defies.
~~~~~~~
In an easy cause any man may be eloquent. [Lat., In causa facili cuivis licet esse diserto.]
~~~~~~~
In an easy matter. Anybody can be eloquent.
~~~~~~~
In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term ‘abandonment’ to describe the self-surrender of the orator. Not his will, but the principle on which he is horsed, the great connection and crisis of events, thunder in the ear of the crowd.
~~~~~~~
In oratory affectation must be avoided; it being better for a man by a native and clear eloquence to express himself than by those words which may smell either of the lamp or inkhorn.
~~~~~~~
It is but poor eloquence which only shows that the orator can talk.
