We must not
contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a
madman is not cured by another running mad also.
-- Antisthenes
388-311 BC, Greek Dramatist
Quarrels often
arise in marriages when the bridal gifts are excessive.
-- Auson
Argument is
conclusive... but... it does not remove doubt, so that the
mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it
finds it by the method of experiment. For if any man who
never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire
burns. his hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would
he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might
learn by experiment what argument taught.
-- Roger Bacon
1214-1294, British
Philosopher, Scientist
It is not
necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.
-- Pierre De Beaumarchais
1732-1799, French Dramatist
