«An essayist is a lucky person who has found a way to discourse without being interrupted»
«It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse.»
«Discourse on virtue and they pass by in droves. Whistle and dance the shimmy, and you've got an audience.»
«Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.»
«A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.»
«Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale, / No man hath walked along our roads with step / So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue/ So varied in discourse.»
«Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music. This is an advantage itinerant preachers have over those who are stationary, as the latter can not well improve their delivery of a sermon by so many rehearsals.»
