People rid the room of argument until they have no one left except people who agree with them. It is understandable. But I like a good argument.

Many a good argument is ruined by some fool who knows what he is talking about.

People say there are no atheists in foxholes. A lot of people think this is a good argument against atheism. Personally, I think it's a much better argument against foxholes.
- Kurt Vonnegut
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'you know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
- Carl Sagan
You can make a very good argument that society would be much worse off if you let 10 rapists and murderers free rather than put one poor, wrongly accused accountant in prison. And so my only point on that is that it should open up an argument. It should not sort of settle one, because nobody disagrees with it.

The core of science is not a mathematical modeling--it is intellectual honesty. It is a willingness to have our certainties about the world constrained by good evidence and good argument.
- Sam Harris
There are a lot of good arguments for birth control, but as far as terminating a life that has already come into existence, I haven't found any.

When a business group tells us there is nothing wrong with the environment, naturally they may have good arguments, but we are also sceptical, because we know that they have an interest in these things.

A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
