About this Quote

In this quote, Everett Dirksen highlights the power of the heart over the mind when it concerns persuasion. He suggests that no matter how sensible or reasonable our arguments may be, they will constantly be overshadowed by the sob story of the heart. This is since the heart is driven by empathy, which is a powerful force that can sway even the most persistent of minds. Dirksen also emphasizes the importance of compassion over constitutionality, suggesting that the laws and rules we produce must constantly be assisted by compassion and understanding for others. Eventually, this quote reminds us of the value of balancing logic with emotion in our decision-making processes.
