If you would convince others, seem open to conviction yourself. — © Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
If you would convince others, seem open to conviction yourself.
Don't convince yourself you're over, don't convince yourself you're done, just because the things around you seem heavy, doesn't mean you can't get off this ground.
If you Need to convince others that you’re happy, then you have Not found real Joy. If you Need to impress others with material objects, then you do Not understand true Wealth.

Don’t be a teacher or judge, be an... Example.
The true Enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. No, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. Above all, he values the intellectual independence of others too highly to want to convince them in important matters. He would much rather invite contradiction, preferably in the form of rational and disciplined criticism. He seeks not to convince but to arouse - to challenge others to form free opinions.
A sincere friend conceals all your deformities, deceives and convince others that you are extremely perfect, the insincere will tell the truth of destruction, leave you open for others to glare and laugh.
Believe in yourself and stop trying to convince others.
Believe in yourself. And stop trying to convince others
You should desire for others what you desire for yourself, and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress, just as you do not like to be oppressed. Do good to others just as you would like good to be done to you. Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others. Accept that treatment from others which you would like others to accept from you. Do not say to others what you do not like to be said to you.
I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others -- The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.

Love others as you would love yourself, judge others as you would judge yourself, cherish others as you would cherish yourself. When you wish for others as you wish for yourself and when you protect others as you would protect yourself, that's when you can say it's true love.
I want people to be able to influence themselves. We convince ourselves, and that allows us to convince others.
First of all, convince yourself that you are the best because the rest of your life is going to go proving this to others.
It is so easy to convince others; it is so difficult to convince oneself.
