I think it's always dangerous to make political arguments in a religiously ideological way. And it's very dangerous to treat as traitors to the American nation those who think differently.
Adam Michnik
Image
While we remain a nation decisively shaped by religious faith, our politics and our culture are, in the main, less influenced by movements and arguments of an explicitly Christian character than they were even five years ago. I think this is a good thing - good for our political culture.
Jon Meacham
Image
I'm vey bad at marshaling arguments. I can't, at a dinner party, explain why I'm a socialist and why others should be socialists as well.
David Hare
Image
The best causes tend to attract to their support the worst arguments, which seems to be equally true in the intellectual and in the moral sense.
Ronald Fisher
Image
Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.
Roland Allen
Image
When there is tension, arguments and money problems, it's tough to do your work. Some people thrive on that. I don't.
Richard Jenkins
Image
Men propound mathematical theorems in besieged cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on the scaffold, discuss a new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache it is our nature.
C. S. Lewis
Image
There is a sort of exotic preposterousness about a lot of elections, the way arguments are made even cruder.
Chris Patten
Image
Nothing so sharpens the thought process as writing down one's arguments. Weaknesses overlooked in oral discussion become painfully obvious on the written page.
Hyman Rickover
Image
The modern believer is not suspicious enough, which is perhaps why when they try to construct arguments in their defence, the convictions are left doing all the work and reason, debilitated by neglect, weakly fails to prop them up.
Julian Baggini
Image
Consumption is the death of capital, and the only valid arguments in favor of consumption are arguments in favor of death itself.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Image
Before impugning an opponent's motives, even when they legitimately may be impugned, answer his arguments.
Sidney Hook
Image
I think that the history of the past hundred years has shown us that, by and large, the one linguistic group to whom separatism is being preached is not moved by the arguments which are used.
Pierre Trudeau
Image
History furnishes to politics all the arguments that it needs, for the chosen cause.
Romain Rolland
Image
When people believe a conclusion is true, they are also very likely to believe arguments that appear to support it, even when these arguments are unsound.
Daniel Kahneman
Image
Most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.
James Harvey Robinson
Image
The people of Nebraska are for free silver and I am for free silver. I will look up the arguments later.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them.
Francis Chan
Image
The American press is, and always has been, a booster press, its editorial pages characteristically advancing the same arguments as the paid advertising copy.
Lewis H. Lapham
Image
Free speech gives us the ability to react vigorously with effective arguments and expose the weakness and misdirection of the other side's claims.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
When a person has a gun, sometimes their mind clicks that this thing ... will win arguments and straighten people out.
Bill Cosby
Image
We like to continue to believe what we have been accustomed to accept as true, and the resentment aroused when doubt is cast upon any of our assumptions leads us to seek every manner of excuse for clinging to them. The result is that most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do.
James Harvey Robinson
Image
For they are yet ear-kissing arguments.
William Shakespeare
Image
A handful of soldiers is always better than a mouthful of arguments.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
