Time makes more converts than reason.

Time makes more converts than reason.

Summary

This quote suggests that time is a more effective influencer than reason when it comes to persuading or converting others. It implies that the passage of time has a way of gradually changing people's perspectives or beliefs, often more effectively than presenting them with rational arguments or facts. It implies that over time, individuals may come to understand or accept certain truths or ideas, not because they have been logically convinced, but rather due to the gradual impact of their experiences or observations.

They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.
