Reason is folly with the unreasonable. PP58
Some people like rows—I don’t envy their choice; I’d rather walk ten miles to get out
of a dispute than half-a-mile to get into one. PT73
Satan greatly approves of our railing at each other, but God does not. 820.392
I notice, however, that, while it is true that our gracious Master was very gentle and
patient with those who had real difficulties, yet he did not always answer everybody’s
cavil. When the difficulty was raised for the sake of questioning and disputing, when
it was mere quibbling, when the enquirer were not in earnest, and did not really wish
to know the truth, he often declined to answer them. My Master has no desire to be
merely victor in a debate: he did not come into the world to fight a battle of logic just
for the sake of winning it. 2413.229
