Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others.
Beware, all too often we say what we hear others say. We think what we are told that we think. We see what we are permitted to see. Worse, we see what we are told that we see.
People believe what they want to believe.
There are two kinds of people: the ones who need to be told, and the ones who figure it out all by themselves.
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
As humans, we're so easily persuaded. We join this cause or that cause, and suddenly the other thing is wrong.
If we go on explaining we shall cease to understand one another.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
There is a holy, mistaken zeal in politics, as well as in religion. By persuading others, we convince ourselves.
People will say what they want to say, in the way they want to.
