Famous quotes containing the words friendly and/or persuasion:

    “Perhaps nothing in all my business has helped me more than faith in my fellow man. From the very first I felt confident that I could trust the great, friendly public. So I told it quite simply what I thought, what I felt, what I was trying to do. And the response was quick, sure, and immediate.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed;
    Till, ‘tween the late and early,
    Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
    To see me thro’ the barley.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
