Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right.
Sting

More quotes by Sting
I learned to change my accent in England, your accent identifies you very strongly with a class, and I did not want to be held back.
Sting
Takes more than combat boots to make a man.
Sting
The compass spins between heaven and hell, let your soul be your pilot, let your soul guide you.
Sting
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side. And you can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. See me walking down Fifth Avenue, a walking cane here at my side. I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York. I'm an alien I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York.
Sting
I never saw no miracle of science that did not go from a blessing to a curse.
Sting
I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.
Sting
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
Sting
I think you can get the wrong impression about me from my work and think I'm always a bit down. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving.
Sting
I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.
Sting
For to sit in a room full of books, and remember the stories they told you, and to know precisely where each one is located and what was happening in your life at time or where you were when you first read it is the languid and distilled pleasure of the connoisseur.
Sting
They build machines they can't control, and bury the waste in a great big hole.
Sting
A lot of people approach risk as if it's the enemy when it's really fortune's accomplice.
Sting
I've been the lowest low on the planet, I've been a sinner all my days. And I was living with my hands on the trigger, I had no sense to change my ways.
Sting
I find that the rhythm of going on long walks will suggest melodies.
Sting
I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.
Sting
I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.
Sting
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Sting
Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
Sting
Great music as much about the space in between the notes as it is about the notes themselves.
Sting
When there's no information and the compass turns to nowhere that you know well, let your soul be your pilot.
Sting
