A passage from the book... It is obvious that the style of your public speaking will depend upon the specific purpose you have in view. If you have important truths which you wish to make known, or a great and definite cause to serve, you are likely to speak about it with earnestness and probably with eloquence.If, however, your purpose in speaking is a selfish one-if your object is self-exploitation, or to serve some special interest of your own-if you regard your speaking as an irksome task, or are unduly anxious as to what your hearers will think of you and your effort-then you are almost sure to fail.[Pg 12]On the other hand, if you have the interests of your hearers sincerely at heart-if you really wish to render a worthy public service-if you lose all thought of self in your heartfelt desire to serve others-then you will have the most essential requirements of true and enduring oratory.

The study of words, phrases, and literary expressions is a highly interesting pursuit. There is a reciprocal influence between thought and language. What we think molds the words we use, and the words we use react upon our thoughts. Hence a study of words is a study of ideas, and a stimulant to deep and original thinking. We should not, however, study "sparkling words and sonorous phrases" with the object of introducing them consciously into our speech. To do so would inevitably lead to stiltedness and superficiality. Words and phrases should be studied as symbols of ideas, and as we become thoroughly familiar with them they will play an unconscious but effective part in our daily expression.
