Quote by John Morley

You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.

You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true conversion or change cannot be achieved by merely silencing someone. Forcefully imposing one's beliefs or ideas onto others may seem like a success in the short term, but it does not lead to genuine transformation. Instead, conversion requires openness to dialogue, understanding, and persuasion, allowing individuals to arrive at their own conclusions through free and respectful exchange of ideas. Silencing someone may merely suppress their voice temporarily, but it does not lead to a genuine change in their perspectives or beliefs.
