Summary

This quote conveys the idea that attempting to frighten or coerce someone into complying with one's wishes is always a temporary solution. The speaker believes that it is more effective to employ persuasion to convince someone because once they are convinced, their commitment would endure. Scaring someone may lead to immediate compliance, but it is not a sustainable approach, as their cooperation is solely driven by fear and will vanish once the fear subsides. Persuasion, on the other hand, elicits a genuine understanding or agreement, resulting in a longer-lasting commitment.
