The orator persuades by means of his hearers, when they are roused to emotion
by his speech; for the judgements we deliver are not the same when we are
influenced by joy or sorrow, love or hate; and it is to this alone that, as we
have said, the present-day writers of treatises endeavor to devote their
attention. （We will discuss these matters in detail when we come to
speak of the emotions.）
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
