George Burton Adams

Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not; but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men...the master of superstition is the people; and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reverse order
Sir Francis Bacon
The assumed instinctive belief in God has been used by many persons as an argument for His existence. But this is a rash argument, as we should thus be compelled to believe in the existence of cruel and malignant spirits, only a little more powerful than man; for the belief in them is far more general than in a beneficent Diety
Charles Robert Darwin
I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.
Edward Gibbon
It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev
A funny thing is if you're out hiking and your friend gets bit by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going for help, then go about ten feet and pretend YOU got bit by a snake. Then start an argument about who's going to get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.
Jack Handey
Never into dispute or argument with another. I never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another.
Thomas Jefferson
There's no point in arguing with partisan supporters. Their views are their identity. Nothing you can tell the most phlegmatic follower
Michael Lews
There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.
James Russel Lowell
