Famous quotes containing the words table and/or models:
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 23:5.
“The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
