Quote: "He called for students to emulate the style of Cicero, which was less ornamented than that of the latter-day sophists, and he urged that rhetorical skill be used only for moral ends."
Question: Do you feel Quintilians project for rhetorical education is the most ambitious conpared to greek rhetoricians? Do you think its best to combine the commitment to virtue and public service with rhetoric practice?
I believe its best to combine commitment to virtue and public service when using rhetoric practice simply because i choose to look at rhetoric methods based off of morality. Quintilian comes off as a man who embraces people and only wants to teach rhetoric to better civilization as a whole, and i couldn't agree more with this notion.
