Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.

The aim of forensic oratory is to teach, to delight, to move.

Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn

For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred man than agriculture

Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
