Great Quotes: Pascal on Persuasive Ideas
Posted in Great Quotes on 25. Sep, 2009
To truly convince someone, don’t always spell things out–letting people come to their own conclusions can often be much more fruitful than proving a case. Abandoning the need to “own” ideas can enable others to truly take them on as their own.
“People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come into the mind of others.”
– Blaise Pascal
