About This Quote

If you are like most people then when you hear someone say, “You can get anything with words,” you think that it is not true. Yet it is. When you want something, you simply have to ask for it. This is still true even in this day and age when money is so much more readily available than ever before.

There are times when people will only agree to do what you want them to do if they get something in return. You can either give them the money or the item, but the act of giving them your words overpowers the act of giving them money.
