Via a Google search I found a 121-page pdf Book of Quotations on Rhetoric by Thomas J. Kinney (from a web page at the University of Arizona). There is an excellent one on page 29 coming from the famous philosopher Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (1466 to 1536):
“Let’s not ignore the teaching of rhetoric, for it helps us greatly in finding out, arranging, and managing arguments, and in avoiding things that are irrelevant to or hinder our case.”
A painting of Erasmus by Hans Holbein was modified from an image at Wikimedia Commons.
