Excerpt from Cicero on Oratory and Orators
Crassus supposes, and that, as universal knowledge is unattainable, it will be well for him not to attempt to acquire too much, as he will thus only distract his thoughts, and render himself less capable of at taining excellence in speaking, than if, contenting himself with mod crate acquirements, be devoted his attention chie?y to the improve ment of his natural talents and qualifications for oratory.
