Quarrels

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

- Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Best Quotes about Quarrels

Wise men do not quarrel with each other.

Proverb, Danish

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.

Lincoln, Abraham

Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

Eliot, George

The falling out of faithful friends, renewing is of love.

Edwardes, Richard

The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next.

Faulkner, William

I strove with none; for none was worth my strife.

Landor, Walter Savage

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.

Kierkegaard, S°ren

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.

Donne, John

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

Francis De Sales, St.

10.

Lovers quarrels are the renewal of love.

Terence

11.

In all private quarrels the duller nature is triumphant by reason of dullness.

Eliot, George

12.

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.

Proverb, Bedouin

13.

Though a quarrel in the streets is a thing to be hated, the energies displayed in it are fine; the commonest man shows a grace in his quarrel.

Keats, John

14.

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.

Loyola, St. Ignatius

15.

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

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

16.

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.
