"Persuasion is clearly a sort of demonstration,..." - Quote by Aristotle

“Our feelings towards our friends reflect our feelings towards ourselves.”

“A gentleman is not disturbed by anything”

“Philosophy can make people sick.”

“A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.”

“Amplification is the vice of modern oratory. It is an insult to an assembly of reasonable men, disgusting and revolting instead ofpersuading. Speeches measured by the hour, die by the hour.”

“By the very act of arguing, you awake the patient's reason; and once it is awake, who can foresee the result?”

“I covet truth; beauty is unripe childhood's cheat; I leave it behind with the games of youth.”

“Why not simply honor your parents, love your children, help your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility for problems, practice virtue without first demanding it of others, understand the highest truths yet retain an ordinary manner? That would be true clarity, true simplicity, true mastery.”

“The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.”
