~ Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice ~
~ Arguments are like fire-arms which a man may keep at home but should not carry about with him. ~
~ A great many college graduates come here thinking of lawyers as social engineers arguing the great Constitutional issues ~
~ When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change. ~
~ Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say. ~
~ If we can not trust a freeman with his right to keep and bear arms, then how can we trust him with the right to vote. Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm. If one argues that the effect of any one freeman's vote is minimal, then why allow it in the first place? To be armed is to secure one's right to representation. ~
~ The more arguments you win, the fewer friends you'll have. ~
~ The weaker the argument, the stronger the words. ~
~ Sometimes when you're arguing with a fool, he's doing the same thing. ~
~ An argument produces plenty of heat, but not much light. ~
~ You get out of an argument exactly what you put into it--a lot of hot air. ~
~ A husband & wife in Montana make it a point not to argue over anything not worth arguing about. Of course, this leads to some dandy fights over whether or not a subject is worthwhile. ~
~ An argument is a collision in which two trains of thought are derailed. ~
~ If you must argue, the best way to win is to start by being right. ~
~ Don't argue at the dinner table. The one who is not hungry always wins the argument. ~
