A quotation from Kit Marlowe

TAMBURLAINE: Then shall we fight courageously with them?
   Or look you I should play the orator?
TECHELLES: No; cowards and faint-hearted runaways
   Look for orations when the foe is near:
   Our swords shall play the orators for us.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
Tamburlaine the Great, Part 1, Act 1, sc. 2 (1586-1587)

A quotation from Smith, Sydney:

«
To this cause of the unpopularity of sermons may be added the extremely ungraceful manner in which they are delivered. The English, generally remarkable for doing very good things in a very bad manner, seem to have reserved the maturity and plenitude of their awkwardness for the pulpit.

Demosthenes was my role model, but pebbles taste like dirt, so now I aspire to be Stentor: known for yelling and nothing else. #oration #greek
