"Avant de pouvoir inspirer avec émotion, vous devez vous-même en être submergé. Avant de pouvoir faire couler leurs larmes, les vôtres doivent s'écouler. Pour les convaincre, vous devez vous-même croire."
— Winston Churchill

Simplified Meaning:
To get other people to feel strong emotions or cry because of what you're saying, you need to feel those emotions deeply yourself. Think about a singer who makes everyone in the audience cry during a sad song. If the singer doesn't feel the sadness inside, their performance won't touch the audience's hearts. In the same way, if you want others to believe in something, you need to truly believe in it first. For example, a teacher who loves a subject will make students excited about it too. This means you can't fake emotions or beliefs if you want to influence others. Real feelings and genuine belief are key to connecting with and convincing people.
