Eloquence.— We need both what is pleasing and what is real, but that which pleases must itself be drawn from the true.

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.

Continuous eloquence wearies

Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.

Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature; as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.
