“We haven't unfortunately been able to persuade Apple Corps in relation to their Beatles catalogue. But we have persuaded everybody else.”
Anthony Grabiner
“For the corps to persuade people that it is part of the solution and not part of the problem, it will have to change its behavior, ... Continuing the practice of spreading funding across a wide range of projects in the hopes of growing the corps program will not be an acceptable answer. We have to return to a situation where the Corps of Engineers is respected for its professional engineering judgment.”
David Hobson
“An infallible method of making fanatics is to persuade before you instruct”
Voltaire
“Blessed are they that have nothing to say, and who cannot be persuaded to say it”
James Russell Lowell
“I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.”
Charles Darwin
“The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.”
William Shakespeare
“He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one;Exceedingly wise, fair-spoken and persuading;Lofty and sour to them that loved him not;But to those men that sought him sweet as summer.”
