"Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate."

Previous Quote

Oratory, like the drama, abhors lengthiness; like the drama, it must keep doing. It avoids, as frigid, prolonged metaphysical soliloquy. Beauties themselves, if they delay or distract the effect which should be produced on the audience, become blemishes.

— Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
