Wise men do not quarrel with each other.

The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.

~George Bernard Shaw~

The same reason that makes us ...

The same reason that makes us chide and brawl and fall out with any of our neighbors, causeth a war to follow between Princes.

~Michel Eyquem De Montaigne~

The most terrible fight is not...

The most terrible fight is not when there is one opinion against another, the most terrible is when two men say the same thing -- and fight about the interpretation, and this interpretation involves a difference of quality.

~Soren Kierkegaard~

The longer a man lives in this...

The longer a man lives in this world the more he must be convinced that all domestic quarrels had better never be obtruded on the public; for, let the husband be right, or let him be wrong, there is always a sympathy existing for women which is certain to give the man the worst of it.

~Benjamin Haydon~

The enemy is like a woman, wea...

The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.

~St. Ignatius Loyola~

Quarrel not at all. No man res...

Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.

~Abraham Lincoln~

I against my brother I and my brother against our cousin, my brother and our cousin against the neighbors all of us against the foreigner.

~Bedouin Proverbs~

Contemplative and bookish men ...

Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.

~John Donne~

Better be quarrelling than lonesome.
