Quote by Al Capone

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can wit

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes, being assertive or even aggressive can yield better results than relying solely on kindness or diplomacy. While the act of kindness alone may not always be enough to persuade or achieve one's goals, the inclusion of a physical power symbolized by the gun can garner more immediate compliance or cooperation. However, it's crucial to remember the moral implications and ethical concerns associated with resorting to force or coercion.

Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it's all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle.
