Go after a man's weakness, and never, ever, threaten unless you're going to follow through, because if you don't, the next time you won't be taken seriously.

"Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Falls from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts....they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun; but there exists no loom
to weave it into fabric...."

Thus it is our own mind
that should be established in all the Roots of the Good;
it is our own mind
that should be soaked by the rain of truth;
it is our own mind
that should be purified from all obstructive qualities;
it is our own mind
that should be made vigorous by energy.

For the uncontrolled there is no wisdom, nor for the uncontrolled is there the power of concentration; and for him without concentration there is no peace. And for the unpeaceful, how can there be happiness?
