We need to practice acting in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we're not in the mood to act.

T. Harv Eker

I also knew that if people have a position on something and you try to argue them into changing it, you’re going to strengthen that position. If you want to change people’s ideas, you shouldn’t try to convince them intellectually. What you need to do is get them into a situation where they’ll have to act on ideas not argue about them.

Myles Horton

Plato

You must get courageous men, men of strong views and let them debate and argue with each other.

No men can act with effect who do not act in concert; no men can act in concert who do not act with confidence; no men can act with confidence who are not bound together with common opinions, common affections, and common interests.

Edmund Burke

God's Word is pure and sure, in spite of the devil, in spite of your fear, in spite of everything.

R. A. Torrey

Men of integrity are generally pretty obstinate, in adhering to an opinion once adopted.

William Cobbett

The only way to truly know a person is to argue with them. For when they argue in full swing, then they reveal their true character.

Anne Frank

Each year, we learn that customer service diminishes. You may argue it's because the IRS budget has been cut, but I'm going to argue that it's because the IRS chooses to spend its funds in other areas like the Affordable Care Act, bonuses, and conferences.

Ander Crenshaw

As women got little crumbs of power, men began to act paranoid - as if we'd disabled them utterly. Do all women have to keep silent for men to speak? Do all women have to be legless for men to walk?
