APAD: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him

drink it.

 

I thought I knew but had to double-check for APAD. It turned out my

understanding "you cannot force someone to do things against his nature" missed 

the first part.

 

The Web says that it means "you can make it easy for someone to do something,

but you cannot force them to do it."
