Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.

The fight against corruption remains pure rhetoric. Reforms, aimed to block usurpation of power by the government's leader and officials' arbitrariness, have been constantly postponed.

Dreams became issues of East versus West. Hopes became political rhetoric. Progress became a search for power and domination. Somewhere the truth was lost that people don't make war, governments do.

You are never persuasive when you're abrasive.
