It is the old battle, between those who use a toothbrush and those who don't.
To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.
Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.
That which neither weapon nor flame could accomplish will be achieved by a sweet speaking tongue in council.
Those are the two best words in English, 'Bidding' and 'war'.
A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
I'm tired of biting my tongue.
We might knit that knot with our tongues that we shall never undo with our teeth.
Battle is an orgy of disorder.
