Fluency/speech

Famous quotes containing the words fluency and/or speech:

    Essay writing is perhaps ... the easiest for the author and requires little more than what is called a fluency of words and a vivacity of expression to avoid dullness; but without ... a real foundation of matter ... an essay writer is very apt, like Dogberry in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, to think that if he had the tediousness of a king, he would bestow it all upon his readers.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Colossians, 4:6.
