material is pointed out. And finally, all the while he is urged to speak,

_speak_, _SPEAK_ as he is applying to his own methods, in his own _personal_

way, the principles he has gathered from his own experience and observation and

the recorded experiences of others.

 

So now at the very first let it be as clear as light that methods are secondary

matters; that the full mind, the warm heart, the dominant will are primary--and

not only primary but paramount; for unless it be a full being that uses the

methods it will be like dressing a wooden image in the clothes of a man.

THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

 

Sense never fails to give them that have it, Words enough to make them

understood. It too often happens in some conversations, as in Apothecary Shops,

that those Pots that are Empty, or have Things of small Value in them, are as

gaudily Dress'd as those that are full of precious Drugs.

 

They that soar too high, often fall hard, making a low and level Dwelling

preferable. The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious

Men of the Blasts of Fortune. Buildings have need of a good Foundation, that lie

so much exposed to the Weather.
