There are men in legislative assemblies who speak often, but
are never masters of any situation. They have great powers
of utterance, but nothing to say. The orator whose burning
sentences become the very proverbs of freedom is not he who
consumes the most time and employs the selectest paragraphs. I
have seen men in Congress often on their legs and buzzing about
like able-bodied darning-needles, but they never managed, even
by accident, to sting anybody into attention.--JAMES T.
FIELDS.
