When you speak, speak clearly & naturally. Say what you mean & mean what you say. Be brief & sensible.
Words should drop from the lips as beautiful coins newly issued from the mint, deeply & accurately impressed, perfectly finished, neatly struck by the proper organs, distinct, sharp, in due succession and of due weight.
