Argue Quotes

In the final analysis the hierarchic pattern is nothing like the straightforward witness for organic evolution that is commonly assumed. There are facets of the hierarchy which do not flow naturally from any sort of random undirected evolutionary process. If the hierarchy suggests any model of nature it is typology and not evolution. How much easier it would be to argue the case for evolution if all nature’s divisions were blurred and indistinct, if the systema naturalae was largely made up of overlapping classes indicative of sequence and continuity Picture Quote #1

It is senseless to argue with someone whose sole purpose in life is to not be convinced of anything Picture Quote #1

Agriculture probably required a far greater discipline than did any form of food collecting. Seeds had to be planted at certain seasons, some protection had to be given to the growing plants and animals, harvests had to be reaped, stored and divided. Thus, we might argue that it was neither leisure time nor a sedentary existence but the more rigorous demands associated with an agricultural way of life that led to great cultural changes Picture Quote #1

In any open question, we should argue from what we do know to what we do not know. We do know that fervent legends and stubborn myths arise easily and naturally. We do not know that dead people rise from the grave Picture Quote #1

They’re hitting harder now more than ever. The only person who would argue that is someone who has never had a physics class. They’re faster and stronger, so the reality is the collisions have to be bigger Picture Quote #1

The individual who cultivates grievances, and who is perpetually exacting explanations of his assumed wrongs, can only be ignored, and left to the education of time and of development... One does not argue or contend with the foul miasma that settles over stagnant water; one leaves it and climbs to a higher region, where the air is pure and the sunshine fair Picture Quote #1

Tennis is at an amazing time when you’ve got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It’s a rivalry I think that we’ve never seen in our sport Picture Quote #1

A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I’m gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens Picture Quote #1

The way I see it, when you put the uniform on, in effect you sign a contract. And you don’t back out of a contract merely because you’ve changed your mind. You can still speak up for your principles, you can still argue against the ones you’re being made to fight for, but in the end you do the job Picture Quote #1

I don’t need to argue here that the evil in the world proves that the universe is not designed, but only that there are no signs of benevolence that might have shown the hand of a designer Picture Quote #1

We should be on our guard against the temptation to argue directly from skill to capacity, and to assume when a man displays skill in some feat, his capacity is therefore considerable Picture Quote #1

What I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable Picture Quote #1

Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation Picture Quote #1

If your faith won’t fit in the door that opens, then I argue do not walk through that door Picture Quote #1

You must get courageous men, men of strong views and let them debate and argue with each other Picture Quote #1

Who are businesses really responsible to? Their customers? Shareholders? Employees? We would argue that it’s none of the above. Fundamentally, businesses are responsible to their resource base. Without a healthy environment there are no shareholders, no employees, no customers and no business Picture Quote #1

I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn’t. And that’s what makes it great Picture Quote #1

Some people would argue the other side: that the business of business is business, and companies should only be focused on profits. But in today’s world, I don’t think corporations can only be focused on profits, because they are inextricably linked with the communities that they serve. I do not believe you can be a leader in your industry without being a leader in your community. It’s a fundamental shift in how you think about business Picture Quote #1

People will listen when they’re ready to listen and not before. Don’t waste time with people who want to argue. They’ll keep you immobilized forever. Look for people who are already open to something new Picture Quote #1

I look upon those who would deny others the right to urge and argue their position, however irksome and pernicious they may seem, as intellectual and moral cowards Picture Quote #1

Pianists don’t argue too much generally because we have a hard enough time just getting things right. Arguing is for string players Picture Quote #1

You can argue with someone’s opinion, but you can’t argue with their story Picture Quote #1

The chicken is a dinosaur. I mean, it really is. You can’t argue with it, because we’re the classifiers and we’ve classified it that way Picture Quote #1

I also knew that if people have a position on something and you try to argue them into changing it, you’re going to strengthen that position. If you want to change people’s ideas, you shouldn’t try to convince them intellectually. What you need to do is get them into a situation where they’ll have to act on ideas not argue about them Picture Quote #1

If you argue with a fool, someone passing by will not be able to tell who is the fool and who is not Picture Quote #1

In fact, one could argue that the skill of the fiction writer boils down to the ability to exploit intensity Picture Quote #1

You can’t argue with facts. You’re not entitled to your own facts Picture Quote #1

I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident? Picture Quote #1

The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights Picture Quote #1

I’m going to argue here that the most accurate and least muddled way to think of permaculture is as a design approach, and that we are often misdirected by the fact that it fits into a larger philosophy and movement which it supports. But it is not that philosophy or movement. It is a design approach for realizing a new paradigm Picture Quote #1
