JohnHenryCardinalNewman
the man who has learned to think and to reason and to compare
and to discriminate and to analyze, who has refined his taste,
and formed his judgment, and sharpened his mental vision, will
not indeed at once be a lawyer, or a pleader, or an orator, or a
statesman, or a physician, . . . but he will be placed in that state
of intellect in which he can take up any one of the sciences or
callings I have referred to, or any other for which he has a taste
or special talent, with an ease, a grace, a versatility, and a
success, to which another is a stranger. . . .

JohnHenryCardinalNewman
I say that a cultivated intellect, because it is a good in itself,
brings with it a power and a grace to every work and occupation
which it undertakes, and enables us to be more useful, and to a
greater number (The Idea of the University. U Notre Dame
Press,1982, pp. 124 & 6).

"The kind of knowledge possessed by an expert
maker; it gives him a clear conception of the why and
wherefore, the how and the with what of the making
process and enables him, through the capacity to
offer a rational account of it, to preside over his
activity with secure mastery" (1993, p. 9).

Rhetoric is not mere techne . . .

Classical rhetoric, in its most ethical and ancient
manifestation, is a way of discussing the truth with
one's fellows in a manner that respects their
freedom and dignity, and attempts to move them
toward the Good.
