Consequence Argument

Famous quotes containing the words consequence and/or argument:

“I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You have such strong words at command, that they make the smallest argument seem formidable.”
