Engineering and Public Speaking


From an unpublished essay in 1897 entitled "The Scaffolding of Rhetoric" by Churchill - -

"Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory.  He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king.  He is an independent force on the world.  Abandoned by his party, betrayed by his friends, stripped of his offices, whoever can command this power is still formidable."
