The rudest man, inspired by passion, is more persuasive than the most eloquent man, if uninspired.

The rudest man, inspired by passion, is more persuasive than the most eloquent man, if uninspired.

The rudest man, inspired by passion, is more persuasive than the most eloquent man, if uninspired.

The rudest man, inspired by passion, is more persuasive than the most eloquent man, if uninspired.
