“...[T]he three greatest works are those of Homer, Dante and Shakespeare.

These are closely followed by the works of Virgil and Milton.”
Joseph Devlin, How To Speak And Write Correctly

“To use a big word or a foreign word when a small one and a familiar one will answer the same purpose, is a sign of ignorance. Great scholars and writers and polite speakers use simple words.”
Joseph Devlin, How to Speak and Write Correctly

“There is an old Latin quotation in regard to the poet which says 'Poeta nascitur non fit' the translation of which is— the poet is born, not made.”
Joseph Devlin, How To Speak And Write Correctly
