Public reason arguments can be good or bad just like other arguments.
John Rawls
Image
Various are the pleas and arguments which men of corrupt minds frequently urge against yielding obedience to the just and holy commands of God.
George Whitefield
Image
Parents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children.
Judith Martin
Image
The notion of rights is linked with the notion of sharing out, of exchange, of measured quantity. It has a commercial flavor, essentially evocative of legal claims and arguments. Rights are always asserted in a tone of contention and when this tone is adopted, it must rely upon force in the background, or else it will be laughed at.
Simone Weil
Image
Are there any good arguments in defence of moral nihilism? I think not.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
Image
You must have a training routine so that what you do happens automatically. If I got up in the morning and thought about going for a run there would often be a number of possible arguments against it. The thing is to get out and run. Later you can wonder whether you should have or not.
Robert de Castella
Image
While it is useful to rebut charges and get your arguments out in circulation, you have to understand that arguments and evidence have little impact on people as long as their feelings tilt them against you.
Jonathan Haidt
Image
[Ognev] recalled endless, heated, purely Russian arguments, when the wranglers, spraying spittle and banging their fists on the table, fail to understand yet interrupt one another, themselves not even noticing it, contradict themselves with every phrase, change the subject, then, having argued for two or three hours, begin to laugh.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
Political change and academic change and intellectual change are obviously crucial, but they don't necessarily change society. They can change a particular class and give everybody in that class great arguments, but that doesn't necessarily translate into the body of the culture.
Eve Ensler
Image
Arguments are too much like disputes.
Jane Austen
Image
When I am convinced of any principle, it is only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.
David Hume
Image
Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
Milton Friedman
Image
Oh, please. If she's going to use Mr. Darcy to prop up her arguments, I give up.
Sophie Kinsella
Image
Fallacious and misleading arguments are most easily detected if set out in correct syllogistic form.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Most people who serve in Washington have been trained either as lawyers or as political operatives--professions that tend to place a premium on winning arguments rather than solving problems.
Barack Obama
Image
It is a predisposition of human nature to consider an unpleasant idea untrue, and then it is easy to find arguments against it.
Sigmund Freud
Image
Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.
Euripides
Image
Jesus did not get stuck in intellectual arguments with people. He did not go for the intellect He went for the conscience. He spoke to that part of the person that knows the difference between right and wrong instinctively.
Kirk Cameron
Image
Passion does not make careful arguments: it declares itself, and that is enough.
Jane Hirshfield
Image
Strange it is that men should admit the validity of the arguments for free speech but object to their being pushed to an extreme, not seeing that unless the reasons are good for an extreme case, they are not good for any case.
John Stuart Mill
Image
I doubt God keeps track of how many arguments we win God may indeed keep track of how well we love.
Philip Yancey
Image
I have heard many arguments which influenced my opinion, but never one which influenced my vote.
Sir James Fergusson, 6th Baronet
Image
Nothing is more certain than much of the force as well as grace, of arguments or instructions depends their conciseness.
Alexander Pope
