“Demosthenes far surpassed in force and strength of eloquence all his contemporaries in political and judicial speaking, in grandeur, and majesty all the orators, and in accuracy and science all the logicians and rhetoricians of his day… without all the embellishment and jesting [of Cicero] but of the temperance, thoughtfulness, austerity, and grave earnestness of his temper.”

Plutarch 46 – 120 CE via Dryden Translation, Shan Dao
(Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus)
from Parallel Lives
