There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.

I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing.

A long dispute means that both parties are wrong.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

If you feel a row coming on, and the words 'we have to talk' spoken in a certain tone are heard, grab the dogs' leads and head outdoors. Outdoors, feelings can be bellowed to the four winds - the dogs don't mind a bit and generally join in with joyful barking.

I've had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge. You know why? While you're carrying a grudge, they're out dancing.

I have won every argument I ever had with myself.

If you cannot answer a man's argument, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.

Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable.

How many a dispute could have been deflated into a single paragraph if the disputants had dared to define their terms?
