A person who doesn’t understand both sides of an issue can’t relate to the side he is trying to sway, so his words will bounce off of them without leaving any impression.

I believe that the best advocates of a certain issue are the ones that fully understand both sides

No matter how hard we try, we can never understand everything that another person has gone through or why they might believe a certain way. It is possible for something to be right for you and something completely opposite be right for someone else.

It is an odd thing I've noticed that people are always right when they agree with me, and always wrong when they don't.

One of the biggest problems with people who think that they are smart is that they believe that the number of times they admit that they are wrong is inversely proportional to their
intellectual level.

It is incorrect to assume that you cannot find any good in the point of view directly opposite yours.
