Kindness is a much more crushing force than anger.

Samael Aun Weor

No man can become a great leader of men unless he has the milk of human kindness in his own heart, and leads by suggestion and kindness, rather than by force.

Napoleon Hill

Kindness is better and can be more powerful than force. Kind words may unlock an iron door.

Nicky Gumbel

I suppose the thing I most would have liked to have known or been reassured about is that in the world, what counts more than talent, what counts more than energy or concentration or commitment, or anything else - is kindness. And the more in the world that you encounter kindness and cheerfulness - which is its kind of amiable uncle or aunt - the better the world always is. And all the big words: virtue, justice, truth - are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.

Stephen Fry

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes.

Homer

Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe.

Gordon B. Hinckley

There is no kindness more cruel than the kindness which consigns another person to their sin.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.

Marcus Aurelius

Human models are more vivid and more persuasive than explicit moral commands.

Daniel J. Boorstin

Questions are often more effective than statements in moving others. Or to put it more appropriately, since the research shows that when the facts are on your side, questions are more persuasive than statements, don't you think you should be pitching more with questions?

Daniel H. Pink

Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener

Dale Carnegie

Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.

Euripides

In the long run, the power of kindness can redeem beyond the power of force to destroy. There is a vast reservoir of kindness that we can no longer afford do disregard.

John MacAulay

I see myself as having this innate weakness that a lot of times will get confused with kindness, but I know that it's often more weakness than kindness.

Takashi Miike

Historically, religion has often proved a more lethal and more divisive force than any secular ideology. It has also often been a more divisive force than race.

Linda Colley

A rationalist, as I use the word, is a man who attempts to reach decisions by argument and perhaps, in certain cases, by compromise, rather than by violence. He is a man who would rather be unsuccessful in convincing another man by argument than successful in crushing him by force, by intimidation and threats, or even by persuasive propaganda.
