I taught my executive team how to argue.
I don’t like mimicking people. I don’t like repeating talking points. I don’t like arguing with people just to argue. I like actually coming up with an interesting thing to say that I don’t think has been said before in that way.
I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realization that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift.
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.
You might think that modern chiropractors restrict themselves to treating back problems, but in fact they still possess some quite wacky ideas. The fundamentalists argue that they can cure anything. And even the more moderate chiropractors have ideas above their station.
It’s a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home.
The argument that most lawmakers make about graffiti is that it’s illegal because it’s an eyesore, but you could easily argue that a lot of advertising is an eyesore.
I couldn’t love a movie much more than ‘Dazed and Confused.’ I would argue that ‘Dazed and Confused: The Series’ would have been very much like ‘Freaks and Geeks.’ And that died a painful death because it was too good.
You could argue that ‘Game of Thrones’ has been around longer than ‘Westworld,’ but honestly, either one – I don’t have a side or anything – I love them both equally.
Some critics argue that a tsunami of hogwash has already rendered the Web useless. I disagree. We are indeed inundated by online noise pollution, but the problem is soluble.
I think during a campaign it’s perfectly OK to do what you need to do. But then the idea, I would argue is for former presidents to fall in line and do the best they can to support the current president, whoever that might be.
In my view what you can’t argue for is a system that is neither decisive nor proportional and can be indecisive and disproportionate at the same time.
You should protest about the views of people you disagree with over major moral issues, and argue them down, but you should not try to silence them, however repugnant you find them. That is the bitter pill free speech requires us to swallow.
While we may argue about the size of government, the Republican Party has not been a party that says, ‘I want to destroy government.’
I don’t argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you’ve reached your personal best, don’t change.
I get to use fiction as a way to work out my thinking and to delight readers in the process. I can’t think of any deal that’s better for me, and I’m always so grateful that readers have indulged me as I argue with myself in my stories.
In some ways, you could argue, television is doing far more interesting work than the movies. It’s more fulfilling.
Social progress is a big thing for me. Although science fiction is traditionally concerned with the hard sciences, which is chemistry, physics, and, some might argue, biology, my father was and still is a social scientist at the University of Toronto.
I argue that one of the functions of a capitalist state is to defend capitalism from itself, to defend capitalism from the capitalists.
Being in a band is hard. Even if you like somebody, you start to argue over silly things.
We actually form the world at every instant, although we’re not cognitively aware of that but – and there are people would argue with that to some degree.
So long as peace is not attained by law (so argue the advocates of armaments) the military protection of a country must not be undermined, and until such is the case disarmament is impossible.
I can’t control myself. I wish I could. I’ve gone to parties, I’ve gone to games, and I drive home and think, ‘God, can’t you just not argue for once? Can’t you just take what people give you and be happy with their answer?’
It’s hard to argue with someone that won’t argue with you.
The Democrats want a pathway to citizenship for the illegal immigrants so they can become Democratic voters in a few years – and some Democrats even argue that non-citizens ought to be able to vote in U.S. elections.
Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective.
We were right to make the case for the U.K. to negotiate a comprehensive customs union with the E.U. And we are right to argue for a strong single market deal, based on common standards, protections and regulations: the right balance of rights and obligation.
The desire for money may be an indication of greed, but I want to argue that greed is a much more subtle vice than simply the desire to be rich.
My parents would, like, argue in front of us and it wasn’t a big deal, whereas I know some people’s parents who, if they argued, it was like, ‘Oh, my God.’
My memorization skills aren’t that great so I need help in that area. As far as everything else, I listen to the director. I’m someone who doesn’t argue. I hit my marks and say the lines.
The enemies of freedom do not argue; they shout and they shoot.
Libertarians typically argue that particular obligations, at least under normal circumstances, must be created by consent; they cannot be unilaterally imposed by others.
I like the idea that I’m making things that people might think and argue about.
Pianists don’t argue too much generally because we have such a hard time just getting things right; arguing is for string players.
Civilians are arrested every single day – including innocent ones – and they must wait until their day in court in order to argue their side of the story. Police officers must be subjected to the same rules.
You could go out and give a million dollars to a charity tomorrow to help the homeless. You could argue that it is just wasted. They are not putting anything back into the community.
With ‘That Awkward Moment’, you could argue I’m just playing the girlfriend of Zac Efron, but the director was such a creative force and let me make her my own. I loved being part of something that felt so relevant and fresh.
I wouldn’t say my mother was my best friend, because that sounds odd, but we have a really tight bond and she is my friend on Facebook. Although she only goes on it to check up on me and sometimes we argue about it.
In ‘Losing My Cool,’ I argue repeatedly that it is a terrible lie, which has been foisted on us and sold to us for decades now, that hip-hop culture equals black culture, that being authentically black means keeping it real.
When we engage in the critical decisions about our nation’s future budgets, I want progressive voices at the table to argue that we must protect the most vulnerable in our society and demand fairness in budget cuts.
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.
The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.
I like to argue with the radio.
Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy.
I would argue that the objective evidence shows that big government is not a friend to African Americans.
I don’t always succeed in creating a delicious dinner for my family; I would, however, argue for the likely success of Taco Night. Who doesn’t love a taco? Make it with veggie crumbles! Add fish! Have you tried ground buffalo? The results are always impressive.
I would argue that you’re only going to get the conservatives, particularly a Republican House, to pass immigration reform if we, as conservatives, are reassured that the border is controlled and that we get to vote on whether the border is controlled.
We have a very disabled person in our family who is cared for by someone who lives a life most other people would find impossible, and her faith is making it a joy for her. And you can’t argue with that. I mean, you can, but it’s fruitless.
Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.
As a veteran of the diet wars, I think it’s time to call a truce. Rather than hear experts argue, most people want practical information they can use.
China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‘us versus them,’ it’s an ‘us and them’ type scenario.
Rihanna told me her parents used to argue so intensely, she used to get these headaches, these migraines that were almost not even treatable with medicine. The moment her parents separated, her migraines went away.
Quite a few people feel uncomfortable when faced with the claim that the Jews are the world’s smartest people. In our politically correct era, one is not expected to argue that one group within humanity has an advantage over all the others.
