– Dale Carnegie, 1888 – 1955

Good quote… You can actually make someone do something without him or her wanting to do it, but the end result would be pathetic.
This quote, if I am not mistaken, is a wonderful rebuttal to Daniel Dennett’s version of “free will” (oversimplified–“if it feels like free will, it is”).
