Text Quotes
It is wonderful that five thousand years have now elapsed since the creation of the world, and still it is undecided whether or not there has ever been an instance of the spirit of any person appearing after death. All argument is against it; but all belief is for it (Argument Quotes)
There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology (Argument Quotes)
I can make the argument that people who don’t have the biggest ranges but have very unique voices, even if they may be pitchy at times... with the right record that’s really unique and distinct, they can have big hits (Argument Quotes)
Power is getting things done without having to demonstrate that you can bulldoze it through. I’m most effective when I’ve studied an issue, when I can make a credible argument, and then bring people along (Argument Quotes)
It is, however, an argument of no weight to say that natural bodies are first generated or compounded out of those things into which they are at the last broken down or dissolved (Argument Quotes)
Academics don’t normally manage to alter people’s way of thinking through their strength of argument (Argument Quotes)
My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They’ve never seen an argument. There’s never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing (Argument Quotes)

The argument of socialists, that people really want to share, beyond a reasonable level of charity, is rubbish, though it is espoused by a lot of rich, pious hypocrites who want to share only enough to avoid widespread starvation, mob violence, and government seizure of more of their incomes (Argument Quotes)
It is prima facie highly implausible that life as we know it is the result of a sequence of physical accidents together with the mechanism of natural selection. We are supposed to abandon this naïve response, not in favor of a fully worked out physical/chemical explanation but in favor of an alternative that is really a schema for explanation, supported by some examples. What is lacking, to my knowledge, is a credible argument that the story has a nonnegligible probability of being true (Argument Quotes)
My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That’s where it should be (Argument Quotes)
Invariably, it is this for which I write: the joy... of an argument firmly made, like a nail straightly driven, its head flush to the plank (Argument Quotes)
There is a definite argument to be made that videogames are becoming an art form put together by artists of different types (Argument Quotes)
A good argument, like a good dialogue, is always a proof of life, but I’d much rather go and read a book (Argument Quotes)
I love a good argument and sometimes I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut if I think someone is wrong... I’ve always fought for what I believe in, and I don’t quit until I have accomplished what I set out to do (Argument Quotes)
News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we’ve tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state (Argument Quotes)
It does surprise me that intelligent people in the 21st century could claim that if you respond to the terrorists with force, you spawn terrorism, but if you appease them, you somehow tame them. This argument, as I said, is very interesting, and very surprising (Argument Quotes)
What no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish (Argument Quotes)
Fiction seems to be more effective at changing beliefs than nonfiction, which is designed to persuade through argument and evidence. Studies show that when we read nonfiction, we read with our shields up. We are critical and skeptical. But when we are absorbed in a story, we drop our intellectual guard. We are moved emotionally, and this seems to make us rubbery and easy to shape (Argument Quotes)
In more than 20 years I’ve spent studying the issue, I have yet to hear a convincing argument that college football has anything do with what is presumably the primary purpose of higher education: academics (Argument Quotes)
Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception (Argument Quotes)
You can’t talk about peace nor agreement while terror is used as the main argument (Argument Quotes)
Part of the skill of saying no is to shut up afterward and not babble on, offering material for an argument (Argument Quotes)
I think there’s a fundamental moral issue about whether it’s right for a machine to decide to kill a person. It’s bad enough that people are deciding to kill people, but at least they have perhaps some moral argument that they’re doing it to ultimately defend their families or prevent some greater evil (Argument Quotes)
I am a believer in liberty. That is my religion to give to every other human being every right that I claim for myself, and I grant to every other human being, not the right because it is his right but instead of granting I declare that it is his right, to attack every doctrine that I maintain, to answer every argument that I may urge in other words, he must have absolute freedom of speech (Argument Quotes)
It is commonly said that if rational argument is so seldom the cause of conviction, philosophical apologists must largely be wasting their shot. The premise is true, but the conclusion does not follow. For though argument does not create conviction, the lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish (Argument Quotes)
It’s not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about (Argument Quotes)
The only thing worse than being on the wrong side of an argument is to be on the right side with no one listening (Argument Quotes)
The worst, most insidious effect of censorship is that, in the end, it can deaden the imagination of the people. Where there is no debate, it is hard to go on remembering, every day, that there is a suppressed side to every argument (Argument Quotes)
Good editorial writing has less to do with winning an argument, since the other side is mostly not listening, than with telling the guys on your side how they ought to sound when they’re arguing (Argument Quotes)
