Faust. You’ll never reach the heart
unless you speak from the heart.
Wagner. But it’s beautiful language
that makes an orator succeed.
I’m way behind on that score.
Faust. You’ve got to look for honest accomplishment!
Don’t be a fool with gaudy expressions!
The right kind of intelligence and good sense
[and love]
will come with little art and strain.
from Goethe's Faust
(my paraphrase and added [and love])
