Arthur Schopenhauer

2. “The only certain rule is the one that Aristotle already gave: do not dispute with anyone and everyone, but only with those people you know who are intelligent enough to avoid saying things that are so stupid as to expose themselves to humiliation, who appreciate the truth, and who gladly listen to good reasons, even when the opponent claims them, and who are balanced enough to bear a defeat when the truth is on the other side.” Arthur Schopenhauer Disputation, Wisdom, Conversation, Truth, Intellectual Integrity
14. “I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world.

Disputes are apt to sour one's temper and disturb one's quiet.” Benjamin Franklin Philosophy, Truth, Controversy, Peace, Intellectual Integrity
