May 29

“Beware always of contending for words.”

RUSKIN

“We should continually examine ourselves whether we are arguing for the sake of truth or triumph.”

Archbishop WHATELY

“Men create oppositions which are not, and put them into new termes so fixed, as, whereas the meaning ought to govern the terme, the terme in effect governeth the meaning.”

BACON

“He always spoke to one’s meaning, not to one’s words.”

“To get people’s hearts right is of more importance than convincing their judgments; right judgment will follow.”
