"Rather, it is meant to say that expressed……" — Jo Coudert
"Rather, it is meant to say that expressed arguments are never won, that only the first several minutes of any discussion can be counted on to involve a calm elaboration of points of difference, while every further moment increases the danger of the argument degenerating into angry accusations and hurt defense, and that, in all probability, you can count on the other fellow to see your point of view if you give him the silence in which to do it."
