Arguments Quotes
-
Some people throw a bit of their personality after their bad arguments, as if that might straighten their paths and turn them into right and good arguments-just as a man in a bowling alley, after he has let go of the ball, still tries to direct it with gestures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Arguments, like men, are often pretenders.
Plato
-
I'm sure you have arguments with your friends, but they don't get printed up and magnified in the papers.
Dickey Betts
-
Fallacious and misleading arguments are most easily detected if set out in correct syllogistic form.
Immanuel Kant
-
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
Gautama Buddha
-
I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.
Oscar Wilde
-
Arguments are too much like disputes.
Jane Austen
-
The master of superstition, is the people; and in all superstition, wise men follow fools; and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reversed order.
Francis Bacon
-
This can never become popular, and, indeed, has no occasion to be so; for fine-spun arguments in favour of useful truths make just as little impression on the public mind as the equally subtle objections brought against these truths. On the other hand, since both inevitably force themselves on every man who rises to the height of speculation, it becomes the manifest duty of the schools to enter upon a thorough investigation of the rights of speculative reason, and thus to prevent the scandal which metaphysical controversies are sure, sooner or later, to cause even to the masses.
Immanuel Kant
-
I hate it when people insist on wrangling with you about something, then try to stop as soon as they see the arguments are no longer going all their way.
Anne Fine
-
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
-
Arguments derived from probabilities are idle.
Plato
-
We maintain, and have said in the Ethics, if the arguments there adduced are of any value, that happiness is the realization and perfect exercise of virtue, and this not conditional, but absolute. And I used the term 'conditional' to express that which is indispensable, and 'absolute' to express that which is good in itself.
Aristotle
-
We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying that we are God's children. And that we don't have to live like we are forced to live.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
They have repeated their arguments but the substantive position has not changed.
Javier Solana
-
The profession is designed to help the court by making sure that the best possible arguments - not misleading arguments, not arguments that stretch a point, not arguments that hide precedents - but that the best possible arguments are presented, ... That's the business we're in. It's very much like if you were a doctor. Do you only cure people who, when they're cured, will lead their lives as you were going to lead them?
Charles Fried
