Persuasion Quotes - Page 4

• El mundo ha progresado hasta el punto de que su fuerza más poderosa es la opinión pública. Y creo que en este mundo no es el gran libro o la obra épica, como antaño, lo que dará forma a esa opinión, sino quienes entienden los medios de comunicación de masas y las técnicas de persuasión de masas... No debemos creer sólo en lo que vendemos. Debemos vender aquello en lo que creemos. Y debemos volcar una gran energía en esas causas.

• A veces parece que estamos llegando a un periodo en el que nuestros sentidos y nuestras mentes ya no responden a una estimulación moderada. Parece que nos acercamos a la Edad de lo Bruto. La persuasión a través de discursos y libros se descarta con demasiada frecuencia en favor de manifestaciones disruptivas destinadas a aporrear a los no convencidos para que pasen a la acción.

• Any person of any philosophic persuasion who sits on a hot stove will verify without any intellectual argument whatsoever that he is in an undeniably low-quality situation: that the value of his predicament is negative. This low quality is not just a vague, woolly-headed, crypto-religious, metaphysical abstraction. It is an experience. It is not a judgment about an experience. It is not a description of experience. The value itself is an experience. As such it is completely predictable. It is verifiable by anyone who cares to do so.

• The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea. He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy.

• Whenever conscience speaks with a divided, uncertain, and disputed voice, it is not the voice of God. Descend still deeper into yourself, until you hear nothing but a clear, undivided voice, a voice which does away with doubt and brings with it persuasion, light, and serenity.

• The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure — and so often, people are unsure — is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.

• First of all, my persuasion is what really breeds violence is political differences. But because religion serves as the soul of community, it gets drawn into the fracas and turns up the heat.

• La paz y la alegría de las fiestas navideñas se han visto empañadas por la proclamación de una huelga general de todas las fuerzas militares del mundo.

• For it is not true, as some treatise-mongers lay down in their systems, of the probity of the speaker, that it contributes nothing to persuasion; but moral character nearly, I may say, carries with it the most sovereign efficacy in making credible.

• What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.... [Instead] reason and persuasion are the only practicable instruments. To make way for these, free enquiry must be indulged; and how can we wish others to indulge it while we refuse it ourselves?

• Debemos analizar lo que implica la inmigración a Estados Unidos. Para los recién llegados, el cambio es insoportable. Aprender un nuevo idioma y enfrentarse a costumbres extrañas hacen que los primeros años de vida en la nueva tierra sean dolorosos...
  El sistema económico de Estados Unidos es un poderoso motor de persuasión. Motiva a la gente a hacer lo que de otro modo nunca haría a cambio de cumplir sus sueños. En el proceso, la gente aprende que no hay una línea tajante entre el bienestar físico y los propósitos más elevados de la vida. La comodidad de poseer una casa es a la vez cumplir con la obligación de cuidar de uno

• Remarkable is the greater openness of the Catholic Church towards people of other religious traditions and persuasions. The development has not been without problems, since some people have resisted it and others have pushed openness beyond the desirable point.

• Everybody knows that there's a liberal, that there's a heavy liberal persuasion among correspondents.....Anybody who has to live with the people, who covers police stations, covers county courts, brought up that way, has to have a degree of humanity that people who do not have that exposure don't have, and some people interpret that to be liberal. It's not a liberal, it's humanitarian and that's a vastly different thing.

• It is not possible to redefine marriage.  Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for any Government of any political persuasion to seek to come along and try to re-write the lexicon. It will not do.

• El caudillo bárbaro, que defendió su país contra la invasión romana, conducido hasta el extremo más remoto de Britania, y estimulando a sus seguidores a la batalla, mediante todo lo que tiene poder de persuasión sobre el corazón humano, concluye su exhortación apelando a estos sentimientos irresistibles: "Pensad en vuestros antepasados y en vuestra posteridad."

• I am not engaged to Christianity by decent forms, or saving ordinances; it is not usage, it is not what I do not understand, that binds me to it -- let these be the sandy foundations of falsehoods. What I revere and obey in it is its reality, its boundless charity, its deep interior life, the rest it gives to my mind, the echo it returns to my thoughts, the perfect accord it makes with my reason through all its representation of God and His Providence; and the persuasion and courage that come out thence to lead me upward and onward.
