Converse
To keep company; to hold intimate intercourse; to commune; -- followed by with. To engage in familiar colloquy; to interchange thoughts and opinions in a free, informal manner; to chat; -- followed by with before a person; by on, about, concerning, etc., before a thing. To have knowledge of, from long intercourse or study; -- said of things. Frequent intercourse; familiar communion; intimate association. Familiar discourse; free interchange of thoughts or views; conversation; chat. Turned about; reversed in order or relation; reciprocal; as, a converse proposition. A proposition which arises from interchanging the terms of another, as by putting the predicate for the subject, and the subject for the predicate; as, no virtue is vice, no vice is virtue. A proposition in which, after a conclusion from something supposed has been drawn, the order is inverted, making the conclusion the supposition or premises, what was first supposed becoming now the conclusion or inference. Thus, if two sides of a sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite the sides are equal; and the converse is true, i.e., if these angles are equal, the two sides are equal.

Converse Quotations
When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory. Friedrich Nietzsche I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read. Samuel Johnson However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with, yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else. Francois de La Rochefoucauld I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people. Dan Quayle It is said that desire is a product of the will, but the converse is in fact true: will is a product of desire. Denis Diderot |
