"Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others. This is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided."
Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
– General Douglas MacArthur
"When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty."
