Good quote, may discussion worthy in class

The quote that really stopped me in my tracks and made me read over it a few times, because it is so true, and somewhat powerful... is on page 9, first full paragraph. It says...

  • Those who reason most powerfully and are the most successful at ordering their thoughts so as to make them clear and intelligible will always be best able to persuade others of what they say, even if they speak in the thickest of dialects and have never learned any rhetoric. and those whose linguistic expression is the most pleasing and who frame their thoughts in the most eloquent and agreeable way would always end up being the best poets, even if they did not know a single rule of poetic composition.

So yea, I thought this quote was very powerful... it discussion persuasion, and understanding your thoughts... kind of going along with a blog i posted early about... if you believe you are right there is no one else to disprove you're wrong. okayy!
