Eloquence also loves sincere lips.

The history of oratory includes few great scenes--Demosthenes' plea for Athenian liberty that resulted in his death, Luther's single challenge to the hosts of Pope and Emperor, Wendell Phillips' at Faneuil Hall, Lincoln's at Gettysburg.

All these risked life for a cause, and were baptized with eloquence, their words being tipped with fire, their minds hurling thunderbolts.
