Control greedy by money, the arrogant by submissiveness, the fool by preaching and the learned by telling him the reality.
First two observations are quite clear. The one dealing with the fool needs an elaboration. A fool is he who dosen’t know what knows.
When he is preached, he realises his ignorance and this realisation makes him a little grateful to the preacher who can, then, mould him easily.
Fourth : you just can’t fool an intelligent and learned man by mincing words or telling half truths to confuse him.
His sharpness and intelligence would also expose the falsehood. So, it is always better if one tells the truth before such persons. Since, they are wise enough, they would realize the helplessness in the situation and accept whatever you ask them to. Straight forward talk is the best way to control or convince a Pundit or a learned and an intelligent man.
