Rhetoric Quotations
Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men. Plato Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big. Theodore Roosevelt We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry. William Butler Yeats Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. Zell Miller The American people demand results, not rhetoric, especially when it comes to national security issues. J. D. Hayworth |
