Function Arguments

Famous quotes containing the words function and/or arguments:

    It is the function of vice to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Because a person is born the subject of a given state, you deny the sovereignty of the people? How about the child of Cuban slaves who is born a slave, is that an argument for slavery? The one is a fact as well as the other. Why then, if you use legal arguments in the one case, you don’t in the other?
