The appreciation of a painting or a piece of music, for example, or even falling in love, is all about our subjectivity. But to decide that the entire universe operates in such a way, let alone to go to war because we are so convinced we are right that others must agree with us or die, that surely should demand a higher level of argument than 'It's true because I really, really feel it is.
Derren Victor Brown
The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think.
Albert Camus
Single Women have a dreadful propensity for being poorwhich is one very strong argument in favour of Matrimony...
Jane Austen
The best argument is that which seems merely an explanation.
Dale Carnegie
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
Andre Maurois
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; argument an exchange of ignorance.
Robert Quillen
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.
Colin Powell
"The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it."
Dale Carnegie
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.
General Colin Powell
Bigotry and intolerance, silenced by argument, endeavors to silence by persecution, in old days by fire and sword, in modern days by the tongue.
Charles Simmons
Some people always other people twist the meanings of words, especially during the course of an argument.
SI Hayakawa
Obstinacy and heat in argument are surest proofs of folly. Is there anything so stubborn, obstinate, disdainful, contemplative, grave, or serious, as an ass?
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
There is also the very real possibility that, in the justice of God, one of the reasons He uses the weak and the foolish of the world is so that no argument could be made later that certain people were advantaged in some unfair way by that which was unearned-either in the premortal life or here. Hence it seems prudent for us to realize that just because one is set apart or ordained to a certain calling or assignment he or she must not expect to be set apart from the stresses of life. There appear to be no immunities.
Neal Maxwell
