Howard Thurston quotes:

Long experience has taught me that the crux of my fortunes is whether I can radiate good will toward my audience. There is only one way to do it and that is to feel it. You can fool the eyes and minds of the audience, but you cannot fool their hearts.

Make them think they've been fooled by a gentlemen.

My object is to mystify and entertain. I wouldn't deceive you for the world.

The average man is not hard to mystify.

You can fool the eyes and minds of the audience, but you cannot fool their hearts.
