Quote - Actions not a Bag of Mouth

Win through your Actions, Never through Argument

"Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate."

~Robert Greene and Joost Elffers
