If you have ever tried to argue with someone who will not listen to logic, then you can relate to these arguing with idiots quotes!

Arguing with idiots is not only tiring and stressful, but it is also a complete waste of time.

One of the most famous quotes about arguing with idiots came from Mark Twain when he said, “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

The wisdom in this quote tells us that instead of convincing an idiot or a difficult person of any logic, they are much more likely to frustrate you and cause you to do or say something that drags you down to their level.

In fact, Twain ends the quote by letting you know that those types of people have experience acting as they do, and because they won’t ever listen to logic, you can’t change their minds.

Take a few minutes to read these arguing with idiots quotes to see how much of a waste of time it is to engage in these arguments.
