On August 30, 1992, I discovered three guidelines Aristotle
gave us to follow in speaking to others.
Mortimer Adler, in "Speaking and Listening,"
quoted the advice from Aristotle's book, "On Rhetoric."

As speakers, Arstotle said to be aware of the followng needs:
1. Ethos -- First, establish who you are. (your credibility)
2. Pathos -- Second, Use illustrations, not statistics or wordiness.
3. Logos -- Finally, Draw conclusions, and quickly!

I wonder whether the same three guidelines are applicable
to our writing as well. As a writer, I shall ponder that question.

I found on the same "saved" paper, the
advice given below:

When giving a talk, remember three rules:

1. Be sincere.
2. Be brief.
3. Be seated.

TRUTHS THAT GUIDE
IN OUR DAYS


CHARITY
In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still.
In men whom men pronounce divine;
I find so much of sin and blot,
I hesitate to draw a line,
Between the two, where God has not.
----- Joaquin Miller


KINDNESS
I expect to pass through this world
but once;
any good thing therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show to
any
fellow creature,
let me do it now;
let me not defer or neglect it, for
I shall not pass this way again.”
- Stephan Grellet
