Si testes desiderantur, quos potiores nominabo quam apud Graecos Demosthenem, quem studiosissimum Platonis auditorem fuisse memoriae  proditum est? Et Cicero his, ut opinor, verbis refert, quidquid in eloquentia effecerit, id se non rhetorum <officinis>, sed Academiae spatiis consecutum.
If you want witnesses, what weightier evidence can I produce than Demosthenes among the Greeks, who is said to have been one of Platos most enthusiastic students? Our own Cicero tells us too'I think in so many words'that anything he accomplished as an orator he owed not to the workshops of the rhetoricians, but to the spacious precincts of the Academy.
