You may ask why do I dwell so much on eloquence and words and debate and so on? I do, my friends, because I place tremendous stress on the value of words. Words are the things which distinguish us from the animals; words are the only things by which we communicate in this world. Words. Words whose transcendent meanings call up the best passions of all the bygone times, steeped through with tears of triumph and remorse—sweet and painful and cleansed in fire. ”
