George Henry Lewes

Sincerity is not only effective and honourable, it is also much less difficult than is commonly supposed.

Endeavour to be faithful, and if there is any beauty in your thought, your style will be beautiful; if there is any real emotion to express, the expression will be moving.

No man was ever eloquent by trying to be eloquent, but only by being so.

The public can only be really moved by what is genuine.

When a man fails to see the truth of certain generally accepted views, there is no law compelling him to provoke animosity by announcing his dissent.

In all sincere speech there is power, not necessarily great power, but as much as the speaker is capable of.
