“Rhetoric is useful because the true and the just are naturally superior to their opposites, so that, if decisions are improperly made, they must owe their defeat to their own advocates; which is reprehensible. Further, in dealing with certain persons, even if we possessed the most accurate scientific knowledge, we should not find it easy to persuade them by the employment of such knowledge. For scientific discourse is concerned with instruction, but in the case of such persons instruction is impossible.” IfsShouldPersonsMadeCertainEasyDecisionCasesImpossibleConcernedOppositesDefeatSuperiorsEmploymentInstructionPossessedAccurateRhetoricDiscourseScientific Knowledge Book:Aristotle: the art of rhetoric Source: Aristotle: the art of rhetoric

“Being kind doesn't mean being soft or a wuss. Kindness is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of confidence. If you have developed a reputation for kindness and consideration, then even the most unpleasant decisions will go down easier because everyone will understand why you are doing what you are doing. They will realize that your decision must be necessary, and is not arbitrary or without empathy.
