It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
---Upton Sinclair
It is useless to argue with a man whose opinion is based upon a personal or pecuniary interest.
---William Jennings Bryan
Doctors have a monopoly of medicine just as parsons have of God. You can’t get a parson to admit the arguements of an agnostic, because his salary depends on his not letting the agnostic refute him; and you can’t get an ordinary doctor to look kindly on psychoanalysis or autosuggestion because their success would make him superfluous. All this is not a question of the Life Force at all; it is a question of bread and butter.
---C.E.M. Joad
Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.
---H.L. Mencken
All the best,
