About This Quote
I had also read somewhere that if a man didn't truly believe or understand what he was espousing, somehow he could do a more convincing job. I am fairly certain that there are many people who do not fully understand their beliefs. They might think they do, but if they really did it wouldn’t make sense for them to speak out against the belief in the first place. People talk about an ideal world, but don't live it.
While some people try to spread the word of their ideals, others are on the other side of the fence. When you don't truly believe in your ideals, but are still trying to pass them on to others, you are doing it wrong.
