Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within; there lies the power to persuade, there the life — there, if one must speak out, the real man. – Marcus Aurelius
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone. – Dwight D Eisenhower
Oral delivery aims at persuasion and making the listener believe they are converted. Few persons are capable of being convinced; the majority allow themselves to be persuaded. – Johann von Goethe
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers. – Helen Keller
I really enjoy what I do, and who Im with and where I am. Having said that, Im not really a person of habit, because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people, and occasionally do very weird things. – Robert Smith
