- When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted.

Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.
- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
