They believed that Britain was in Ireland defending their own interests, therefore the Irish had the right to use violence to put them out. My argument was that that type of thinking was out of date.
John Hume

This band has never had an argument. It's just amazing.
Dave Edmunds

This is the heart of my argument: We can put more pressure on the antagonist for whom we show human concern.
Barbara Deming

To be able to bear provocation is an argument of great reason, and to forgive it of a great mind.
John Tillotson

To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus.
Al Franken

Truth springs from argument amongst friends.
David Hume

Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Stephen Colbert

We are told that the possession of nuclear weapons - in some cases even the testing of these weapons - is essential for national security. But this argument can be made by other countries as well.
Joseph Rotblat

We must reinforce argument with results.
Booker T. Washington

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you're advancing. If you don't you're as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn't there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.
Lyndon B. Johnson

When blithe to argument I come, Though armed with facts, and merry, May Providence protect me from The fool as adversary, Whose mind to him a kingdom is Where reason lacks dominion, Who calls conviction prejudice And prejudice opinion.
Phyllis McGinley

When I'm alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument.
Zsa Zsa Gabor

When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

When you let someone else win an argument, often you both end up winners.
Richard Carlson

Whenever I run into prejudice. I smile and feel sorry for them, and I say to myself, There's one more argument for birth control.
Freddy Fender

You can make an argument that Bill O'Reilly is a conservative or a Republican. Bill's kind of unpredictable. Somebody might say that he would have been comfortable in the Democratic Party of Scoop Jackson.
Brit Hume

You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it.
Noam Chomsky
