A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
论点
Argument
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.
我和别人吵过几次架,但我从不记仇。你知道为什么吗?当你怀恨在心的时候,他们却在外面跳舞。

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 should have known better. Pro-life arguments are now based on scientific evidence and the pro-choice arguments are not. That is a cultural, historical fact.

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.
