Famous quotes containing the words convention and/or speakers:

    “By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by
    convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space.”
    —Democritus (c. 460–400 B.C.)

    “All the great speakers were bad speakers at first. Stumping it through England for seven years made Cobden a consummate debater. Stumping it through New England for twice seven trained Wendell Phillips.”
