Charming women can true converts make, We love the precepts

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that individuals are more inclined to listen to and follow the teachings of someone they find charming or attractive. It suggests that a person's attractiveness and charm can influence our perception and acceptance of their teachings or beliefs. Rather than solely focusing on the merit of the teachings themselves, we may be swayed by the charisma and persuasive abilities of the teacher. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing the influence of personal bias and attraction when evaluating the credibility and validity of ideas or doctrines.
