Decorative

Famous quotes containing the word decorative:

    A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail.... Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
