Woodrow Wilson Quotes, Lying Quotes, Ambition Quotes

I have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy....

The greatest and truest models for all oratorsis Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public.
