“O the orator’s joys!
To inflate the chest, to roll the thunder of the voice out from the ribs and throat,
To make the people rage, weep, hate, desire, with yourself,
To lead America—to quell America with a great tongue.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The best way to rise in society is to use all possible means of persuading people that one has already risen in society.”
