Best Quotes about Argument
I learned an important lesson in the art of debate. Present your argument clearly, arm yourself with cutting wit and of course, bob and weave!
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.
Proverb, Spanish
Weak arguments are often thrust before my path; but although they are most insubstantial, it is not easy to destroy them. There is not a more difficult feat known than to cut through a cushion with a sword.

Antisthenes

Proverb
The Argument from Intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence.
Ayn Rand
If you go in for argument, take care of your temper. Your logic, if you have any, will take care of itself.
Joseph Farrell
When good people have a falling out, only one of them may be at fault at first; but if the strife continues long, usually both become guilty.
Fuller, Thomas
The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.
Howe, Edgar Watson
The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.
G. K. Chesterton
When you argue with your inferiors, you convince them of only one thing: they are as clever as you.
Layton, Irving
There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.
Acton, Lord
People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the Countercheck Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct.
Shakespeare, William
The most important thing 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 too much apparent loss of face.
Harris, Sidney J.
It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.
Sarton, May
Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.
Hugo, Victor
Those disputing, contradicting, and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory, sometimes, but they never get good will, which would be of more use to them.
Franklin, Benjamin
Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.
Saadi
Behind every argument is someone's ignorance.
Louis D. Brandeis
Debate is the death of conversation.
Ludwig, Emil
It is the briefest yet wisest maxim which tells us to meddle not.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Wise men argue cases, fools decide them.
Anacharsis

Voltaire

Butler, Samuel
Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
True disputants are like true sportsman: their whole delight is in the pursuit.
Pope, Alexander
In a heated argument we are apt to lose sight of the truth.
Publilius Syrus
Argument, as usually managed, is the worst sort of conversation, as in books it is generally the worst sort of reading.
