Quotations for persuasive

Persuasive, yet denying eyes, all eloquent with language of their own. [ Locke ]

The rudest man, inspired by passion, is more persuasive than the most eloquent man, if uninspired. [ La Rochefoucauld ]

To a woman of delicate feeling, the most persuasive declaration of love is the embarrassment of an intellectual man. [ Latena ]

The passions are the only orators that always persuade; they are, as it were, a natural art, the rules of which are infallible; and the simplest man with passion is more persuasive than the most eloquent without it. [ La Rochefoucauld ]
