Famous Quotes – Unknown

It takes time for the absent to assume their true shape in our thoughts. After death they take on a firmer outline and then cease to change.
Colette, The Captain, Earthly Paradise (1966)
When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that ‘a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.’ So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. 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
