The part of the game that fans will soon miss: the argument between manager and umpire! There was something special about watching a manger and umpire both convinced they were totally right, but knowing that one had to be wrong. As an ump, those moments made my job fun, and getting 'nose-to-nose' was part of my job description.
It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.
Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.
I have no influence with the rising generation. All my arguments have failed to induce them to set bounds to their wants.
The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.
Readers have always read high and low, and to fight that urge is to fight the freedom inherent in the act of reading itself. The only arguments that have any traction, as best as I can see it, are about whether the genre classification of 'young adult' should exist at all.
The capacity to make free choices is not something we either have entirely or not at all. Rather, choices become freer the more they are the result of our own capacity to reflect on and assess facts and arguments.
If you are ignorant, you certainly can get into some interesting arguments.
One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact.
When you're on tour you definitely don't want lots of arguments. It's very important that everybody gets on because you're in close proximity a great deal of the time.
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing.
There are clear cases in which 'understanding' literally applies and clear cases in which it does not apply; and these two sorts of cases are all I need for this argument.
Most arguments for instituting or raising a minimum wage are based on fairness and redistribution. Even if workers are getting a competitive wage, many of us are deeply disturbed that some hard-working families still have very little.
I say, If everybody in this house lives where it's God first, friends and family second and you third, we won't ever have an argument.
I come from an Italian family. One of the greatest and most profound expressions we would ever use in conversations or arguments was a slamming door. The slamming door was our punctuation mark.
Strong moral arguments exist for why we should often try to ignore stereotypes or override them. But we shouldn't assume they represent some irrational quirk of the unconscious mind. In fact, they're largely the consequence of the mind's attempt to make a rational decision.
Political debate with liberals is basically impossible in America today because liberals are calling names while conservatives are trying to make arguments.
History is full of really good stories. That's the main reason I got into this racket: I want to make the argument that history is interesting.
To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced - this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.
Where all is but dream, reasoning and arguments are of no use, truth and knowledge nothing.
I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.
Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.
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.
Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup.
Traditional arguments for the existence of God and contemporary attempts to use fine-tuning and cosmology to back up the case for his existence always strike me as kinds of games, since hardly anyone believes on the basis of these arguments at all.

Any fact is better established by two or three good testimonies than by a thousand arguments.
When you have an intense game, you're going to have arguments. I have no problem with it. I think it's healthy.
I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments, but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world, but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.
I've been trying to make this argument that digital comics and print comics are both art, but there are subtle differences.
Frank was the BOSS and was not open to anything that was not from his head. There were no arguments about music because if you did, he would show you where the door was. Period.
I don't ever recall having a political argument with Bob Grant. I've known him a long time. I've always liked him.
Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.
