National Debate

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or debate:

    I would dodge, not lie, in the national interest.
    Larry Speakes (b. 1939)

    Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
