 721. Behold the men that know how to weigh their words: they will also know how to order their discourse and will not fail before a wise audience.

722. Behold the man who can sustain his conclusions in the congregation of the learned: he will be called a scholar among scholars.

723. They are common, those that can brave death on the battle-field : but they are rare who can face an audience without trembling.

724. Place before the learned that which thou hast mastered : and that which thou knowest not, learn from them that excel therein.

725. Master thou the science of reasoning that thou mayest speak without fear in any assembly. Rh
