"In all sincere speech there is power, not necessarily great power, but as much as the speaker is capable of"

This quote by George Henry Lewes speaks to the power of communication. He recommends that when we speak all the best, we are able to convey our ideas and feelings in such a way that has an effect on the listener. This impact might not be fantastic, however it is as much as the speaker is capable of. This suggests that the power of communication depends on the speaker's capability to reveal themselves. It also suggests that the power of communication is not always identified by the magnitude of the message, but rather by the genuineness of the speaker. Lewes' quote motivates us to be mindful of the power of our words and to use them wisely. He advises us that even if we don't have the most effective words, we can still make an effect if we speak from the heart.
