Quote examples
Aristotle
Greek Philosopher
Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.
Quote examples
Jabari Parker
American Basketball Player
My dad is more credible than almost anybody I know. Growing up, I think I took for granted having a father in my life. I know I shouldn't have been like that. A lot of my friends didn't have a father, so for so many people he was the father figure. I look at the way he's lived his life, sacrificing so much.
Quote examples
Paolo Nutini
Scottish Musician
To be honest, the first time round, I didn't think 'Fame Academy' was the worst premise in the world. You got people on, and they would write songs and develop themselves as artists. But then, instead of getting a little bit more credible, it got a little bit more ridiculous.
Quote examples
Jessica Biel
American Actress
For a very long time, I wasn't thought of as anyone with any credibility in the film world. Everybody is tramping through the swamp every day in this business. 'I'm worth it, I'm credible - believe me, give me a shot!' That's the way I feel on a consistent basis.

American Actor
I think that those are the things that you can uniquely do with film that are difficult to do anywhere else: they can bring a picture to life, give it a natural and historical context and make you feel that everything else is suddenly credible.
Quote examples
Rodrigo Duterte
Filipino Statesman
The state must protect the media. In a democracy, the role of media is very important. In the absence of a credible opposition party, you can rely on the media.
Quote examples
Scott Weiss
American Businessman
The experts typically know where the other best-in-the-world talents are currently working and can help you recruit them in with a credible intro.
Quote examples
Jim Watkins
American Businessman
We have never protected illegal speech, as it seems that we have been accused of by some less than credible journalists.
Quote examples
Sanjaya Baru
Indian Public Servant
