Summary

This quote suggests that it is the power of emotions, or passions, that have the ability to persuade and influence others effectively. It implies that logic and reasoning alone may not always be persuasive enough, but when combined with strong emotions, they can have a greater impact on convincing others to adopt a certain belief or take a desired action. Emphasizing the power of passion in communication implies that emotional conviction can be a more persuasive and compelling method than solely relying on facts and logical arguments.
