"Muhammad established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives."

As the base rhetorician uses language to increase his own power, to produce converts to his own cause, and to create loyal followers of his own person - so the noble rhetorician uses language to wean men away from their inclination to depend on authority, to encourage them to think and speak clearly, and to teach them to be their own masters.
