Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Debates require a lot of hard work and preparation. If you try to wing it, it shows.
Mark McKinnon
Image
Debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates. It's pretty hard to be able to sit and lay out your ideas and your concepts with a one-minute response.
Rick Perry
Image
I spent four and a half hours debating Donald Trump in three debates, which I think should put to rest any questions about my stamina.
Hillary Clinton
Image
Medicare debates in Congress should result in better Medicare benefits for all our nation's seniors. We're not asking for special treatment for rural America, just a fair deal.
Bennie Thompson
Image
John Kerry says that he wants to debate President Bush once a month until the election. This could be a risky move for Senator Kerry. If Bush doesn't show up for the debates, John Kerry may end up debating an empty chair. And that could be pretty much a toss up as to which one has the better personality.
Jay Leno

You well know, sir, that when the Constitution was submitted to the People of the respective States for their adoption or rejection, it awakened the warmest debates of the several State conventions.
Caleb Cushing

I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that's kind of where we are.
Jeb Bush
Image
These esoteric, intellectual debates-I want them to come to New Jersey and sit across from the widows and the orphans and have that conversation.
Chris Christie
Image
If I can get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and be allowed into the debates, I'd not only run, I'd win.
Jesse Ventura
Image
Trees are right at the heart of all the necessary debates: ecological, social, economic, political, moral, religious.
Colin Tudge
Image
If we're not in the debates there will be no real discussion of climate change, because Hillary Clinton's policy does not begin to address the threat.
Jill Stein
Image
The Sophists' paradoxical talk pieces and their public debates were entertainment in 5th century Greece. And in that world, Socrates was an entertainer.
David Antin
Image
As a visual discourse, architecture requires trained individuals to work on the refined philosophical debates. School gave me the necessary training, and I've built on this based on my own aesthetics, as most do.
Jimenez Lai
Image
I generally think debates within a party should not be treated as a scandal. They should be treated as a sign of strength, to be honest.
David Brooks
Image
Ambitious and thought-provoking, Higher Education in America represents an informed and informative addition to ongoing debates at the national, state, and institutional levels about the aims higher education ought to aspire to and how best to achieve them.
David M. Brown
Image
There are plenty of dates that are dead nights that you could do. There are plenty evenings that are dead nights that you could have the debates in.
Donald Trump
Image
For all the tough talk about China during the presidential debates, Romney and Obama evaded any mention of China's suspect human rights record, corruption, and rule of law. By not tackling these controversial topics, the candidates are protecting a strategic partnership with China at the expense of essential human values and beliefs.
Ai Weiwei

I got to watch some of Hillary Clinton's debates against Barack Obama. She treated him with terrible disrespect.
Donald Trump
Image
Unfortunately, public debates do not have much room for subtlety. The audience wants a quick thrust at your opponent, not a slow and convoluted series of moves. Whenever Obama uses subtleties in discussing a complex issue, he gets creamed.
Alan Lightman
Image
There's a whole lot of potential here [in vice-president candidates debates]. But it's not going to be a substitute for [Donald] Trump picking up the pace, the slack himself. It's not going to be a substitute for that.
Donald Trump
Image
The debates of that great assembly are frequently vague and perplexed, seeming to be dragged rather than to march, to the intended goal. Something of this sort must, I think, always happen in public democratic assemblies.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Overly focused, it's far from the time to rest now. Debates growin bout who they think is the best now
Drake
Image
I don't think it should be a surprise when we're talking about energy and trying to have more home-grown energy, be less reliant on foreign oil when you look at our health care that we're trying to get more affordable health care, that these are going to create major debates in this country and be somewhat polarizing.
