Quotations for orator

A good orator is pointed and impassioned. [ Cicero ]

The orator is the mouth (os) of a nation. [ Joseph Roux ]

There is no true orator who is not a hero. [ Emerson ]

Hark to that shrill, sudden shout,
The cry of an applauding multitude,
Swayed by some loud-voiced orator who wields,
The living mass as if he were its soul! [ William Cullen Bryant ]

The poet is the nearest borderer upon the orator. [ Ben Jonson ]

A good orator must be Cicero and Roscius in one man. [ Proverb ]

He's a pretty fellow of an orator that makes panegyric of himself. [ Proverb ]

It is but poor eloquence which only shows that the orator can talk. [ Sir Joshua Reynolds ]

Beauty itself doth itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator. [ William Shakespeare ]

Whatever poet, orator, or sage May say of it, old age is still old age. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

He who has reason and good sense at his command needs few of the arts of the orator. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Eloquence dwells quite as much in the hearts of the hearers as on the lips of the orator. [ Lamartine ]

An orator of past times declared that his calling was to make small things appear to be grand. [ Montaigne ]

Refined taste forms a good critic; but genius is further necessary to form the poet or the orator. [ Blair ]

The capital of the orator is in the bank of the highest sentimentalities and the purest enthusiasms. [ Edward G. Parker ]

Brevity is the best recommendation of a speech, not only in the case of a senator, but in that, too, of an orator. [ Cicero ]

Eloquence, to produce her full effect, should start from the head of the orator, as Pallas from the brain of Jove, completely armed and equipped. Diffidence, therefore, which is so able a mentor to the writer, would prove a dangerous counsellor for the orator. [ Colton ]

Rhetoric is appealing to the passions instead of the reason of your auditors, and claiming that value for the workmanship which ought to be measured by the ore alone. An orator is one who can stamp such a value upon counterfeit coin as shall make it pass for genuine. [ Chatfield ]

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. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
