Frivolous Arguments

Famous quotes containing the words frivolous and/or arguments:

“Dress is at all times a frivolous distinction, and excessive solicitude about it often destroys its own aim.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
