Persuasion

The real persuaders are our appetites, our fears and above all our vanity. The skillful propagandist stirs and coaches these internal persuaders.

Persuasion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Persuasion

1.
It is nobler to convert souls, than to conquer kingdoms.
Debonnaire, Louis

2.
Those that will not hear must be made to feel.
Proverb, German

3.
Not brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.
Carlyle, Thomas

When a heart is on fire, sparks always fly out of the mouth.
Proverb

5.
Why harass with eternal purposes a mind to weak to grasp them?
Horace

6.
More flies are caught with honey than with vinegar.
Proverb, French

7.
The truth isn't the truth until people believe you, and they can't believe you if they don't know what your saying, and they can't know what you've saying if they don't listen to you, and they won't listen to you if you're not interesting, and you won't be interesting until you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly.
Bernbach, William

8.
There is a holy, mistaken zeal in politics, as well as in religion. By persuading others, we convince ourselves.
Junius

9.
The young mind is pliable and imitates, but in more advanced states grows rigid and must be warmed and softened before it will receive a deep impression.
Renolds, Joshua

10.
Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
If you can't get people to listen to you any other way, tell them it's confidential.
Proverb

12.
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Cicero, Marcus T.

13.
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.
Carlyle, Thomas

14.
The secret is to always let the other man have your way.
Pell, Claiborne

Who speaks to the instincts speaks to the deepest in mankind, and finds the readiest response.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

16.
Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.
Crowley, Aleister

17.
The persuasion of a friend is a strong thing.
Homer

18.
You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.
Lincoln, Abraham

19.
If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
Lincoln, Abraham

20.
That which we do not believe, we cannot adequately say; even though we may repeat the words ever so often.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Persuasion is better than force.
Proverb

22.
People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found out by others.
Pascal, Blaise

23.
People have a peculiar pleasure in making converts, that is, in causing others to enjoy what they enjoy, thus finding their own likeness represented and reflected back to them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
Call the bald man, Boy; make the sage thy toy; greet the youth with solemn face; praise the fat man for his grace.
Rowland, Helen

25.
That which proves too much, proves nothing!
Proverb

26.
The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.
Hazlitt, William

27.
I don't know the rules of grammar. If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language.
Ogilvy, David

28.
When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms them in their faith.
Junius

29.
For your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.
Frame, Janet

30.
One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears - by listening to them.
Rusk, Dean

31.
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
Franklin, Benjamin

32.
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.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
Before you try to convince anyone else, be sure you are convinced, and if you cannot convince yourself, drop the subject.
Patterson, John H.

34.
The object of oratory alone in not truth, but persuasion.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

35.
He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock.
Proverb, Scottish

36.
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.
Aurelius, Marcus

37.
To make converts is the natural ambition of everyone.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

38.
The tongue can paint what the eye can't see.
Proverb, Chinese

39.
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.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

40.
You must make the product interesting not just make the ad different. And that's what too many of the copywriters in America today don't yet understand.
Reeves, Rooser

41.
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

42.
The real persuaders are our appetites, our fears and above all our vanity. The skillful propagandist stirs and coaches these internal persuaders.
