Quote by Thomas Carlyle
Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced

Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy. – Thomas Carlyle
