“Minds with fixed ideas are like granite: They can never be penetrated with soft words and gentle persuasions.”

“For, besides what has been said, it should be borne in mind that the temper of the multitude is fickle, and that while it is easy to persuade them of a thing, it is hard to fix them in that persuasion”

“Til death do us part....The words wrap around my mind like soft, silk binds, and I cherish the imagery. Eternity can only be with this man – there will never be another who knows me so well.”

“That soft but penetrating voice that caressed your ears and climbed through your brain like a vine.”

“Still, small heavenly voices penetrate the heart with their gentle, convincing declarations… Most often, hope, encouragement, and direction come from a soft, piercing voice. Small voices are heard only by those who are willing to listen.”

“But who ever heeds the voice of reason when love whispers, softly persuasive, in the other ear?”
