1 " Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know. "
― Plato , The Republic
2 " He who is called to and set apart for the work of an evangelist is to devote his time and effort single-mindedly to this God-given task. He is not to be distracted by anything likely to deflect him from this. Persecution will not weaken his resolution. The persuasion of others will fall on deaf ears. Only the clear leading of God will cause him to change his ministry. "
― Billy Graham , Billy Graham in Quotes
3 " The true basis and propaedeutic for all knowledge of human nature is the persuasion that a man's actions are, essentially and as a whole, not directed by his reason and its designs; so that no one becomes this or that because he wants to, though he want to never so much, but that his conduct proceeds from his inborn and inalterable character, is narrowly and in particulars determined by motivation, and is thus necessarily the product of these two factors. "
― Arthur Schopenhauer , Essays and Aphorisms
4 " We must each find our separate meaning in the persuasion of our days until we meet in the meaning of the world. "
