- Leo Tolstoy99◆ It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth.
- Milan Kundera99◆ That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.
- Christopher Buckley99◆ I'm sorry to say that the subject I most disliked was mathematics. I have thought about it. I think the reason was that mathematics leaves no room for argument. If you made a mistake, that was all there was to it.
- Malcolm X99◆ I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
- Michael Palin99◆ Don't start an argument with somebody who has a microphone when you don't. They'll make you look like chopped liver.
- Harlan Ellison99◆ Very often in everyday life one sees that by losing one's temper with someone who has already lost his, one does not gain anything but only sets out upon the path of stupidity. He who has enough self-control to stand firm at the moment when the other person is in a temper, wins in the end. It is not he who has spoken a hundred words aloud who has won; it is he who has perhaps spoken only one word.
- Hazrat Inayat Khan99◆ There can be no progress without head-on confrontation.
- Christopher Hitchens99◆ When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his mother he is past all argument.
- C.S. Forester99◆ I'M SCOTTISH!
- Elizabeth Wein99◆ They dispute not in order to find or even to seek Truth, but for victory, and to appear the more learned and strenuous upholders of a contrary opinion. Such persons should be avoided by all who have not a good breastplate of patience.
- Giordano Bruno99◆ What happened was: they became a team, a family of two. There had been times before they ran away when they acted like a team, but those were very different from feeling like a team. Becoming a team didn't mean the end of their arguments. But it did mean that the arguments became a part of the adventure, became discussions not threats. To an outsider the arguments would appear to be the same because feeling like part of a team is something that happens invisibly. You might call it caring. You could even call it love. And it is very rarely, indeed, that it happens to two people at the same time-- especially a brother and a sister who had always spent more time with activities than they had with each other.
- E.L. Konigsburg99◆ Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.
- Bruce Lee99◆ The most important tactic in an argument next to being right is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without an embarrassing loss of face.
- Stephen Jay Gould99◆ Do you know, the only people I can have a conversation with are the Jews? At least when they quote scripture at you they are not merely repeating something some priest has babbled in their ear. They have the great merit of disagreeing with nearly everything I say. In fact, they disagree with almost everything they say themselves. And most importantly, they don't think that shouting strengthens their argument.
- Iain Pears99
