Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks,
And he has chambers in King's Bench walks.
--
A parody on Pope's lines: "Graced as thou art with all the power of words, / So known, so honoured at the House of Lords"; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Colley Cibber

Whene'er I take my walks abroad,
How many poor I see!
What shall I render to my God
For all his gifts to me?Isaac Watts
If what the philosophers say be true,—that all men's actions proceed from one source; that as they assent from a persuasion that a thing is so, and dissent from a persuasion that it is not, and suspend their judgment from a persuasion that it is uncertain,—so likewise they seek a thing from a persuasion that it is for their advantage.
Epictetus
There were certain things I didn't like, such as tipping. I thought we should be paid more, and not have to have any tips. But when I proposed that to the boss, I got nothing but laughter. She told everybody, "Richard doesn't want his tips, hee, hee, hee; he doesn't want his tips, ha, ha, ha." The world is full of this kind of dumb smart-alec who doesn't understand anything.
Richard Feynman
He who has the truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
He talks in the Bear-Garden Tongue.
