Quote of the Day

Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king…. The subtle art of combining the various elements that separately mean nothing and collectively mean so much in an harmonious proportion is known to very few…. [T] he student of rhetoric may indulge the hope that Nature will finally yield to observation and perseverance, the key to the hearts of men.

- Winston Churchill, The Scaffolding of Rhetoric
