“I would rather try to persuade a man to go along because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him he will stay just as long as he is scared and then he is gone”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simplified Meaning:
It's better to convince someone to agree with you because they will stay loyal. If you only scare them, they will leave as soon as they stop being afraid.
