"Arguments are too much like disputes...." - Quote by Jane Austen

“The sooner every party breaks up the better.”

“Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.”

“What one means one day, you know, one may not mean the next. Circumstances change, opinions alter.”

“There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact.”

“If you're explaining, you're losing.”

“Whenever an obviously well founded statement is made in England by a person specially well acquainted with the facts, that unlucky person is instantly and frantically contradicted by all the people who obviously know nothing about it.”

“It is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds. It is common knowledge that no great captain in the world has ever destroyed all of his enemies and lived with a sense of satisfaction. If one enemy is killed, two more will appear. It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all the sentient beings which is the way to bring peace to all.”

“The argument is at an end.”

“Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.”
