Quote by John Dryden

A man is to be cheated into passion,but reasoned into truth.


A man is to be cheated into passion,but reasoned into truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that emotions like passion can be easily manipulated or deceived in a person, whereas truth and rationality can only be found through thoughtful reasoning. It implies that individuals can easily fall victim to their emotions and be swayed by others' manipulation or deceit, but true understanding and wisdom can only be attained through logical and reasoned thinking. In other words, while passion may lead to impulsive decisions, truth can only be discovered through careful analysis and critical thinking.
