qua re in hac nostra actione secundum vocem vultus valet; is autem oculis gubernatur. Atque in eis omnibus, quae sunt actionis, inest quaedam vis a natura data; qua re etiam hac imperiti, hac vulgus, hac denique barbari maxime commoventur: verba enim neminem movent nisi eum, qui eiusdem linguae societate coniunctus est, sententiaeque saepe acutae non acutorum hominum sensus praetervolant: actio, quae prae se motum animi fert, omnis movet; isdem enim omnium animi motibus concitantur et eos isdem notis et in aliis agnoscunt et in se ipsi indicant.

Ad actionis autem usum atque laudem maximam sine dubio partem vox obtinet; quae primum est optanda nobis; deinde, quaecumque erit, ea tuenda; de quo illud iam nihil ad hoc praecipiendi genus, quem ad modum voci serviatur: equidem tamen magno opere censeo serviendum; sed illud videtur ab huius nostri sermonis officio non abhorrere, quod, ut dixi paulo ante, plurimis in rebus quod maxime est utile, id nescio quo pacto etiam decet maxime. Nam ad vocem obtinendam nihil est utilius quam crebra mutatio; nihil perniciosius quam effusa sine intermissione contentio.
