Most quarrels amplify a misunderstanding.

Most quarrels are inevitable at the time; incredible afterwards.

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

I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.

Now the thing is not to get into unnecessary quarrels by talking too much and not to indicate any weakness by talking too much; let our actions speak for themselves.

It's hard to argue with someone that won't argue with you.

Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.

Well, you can't argue with somebody that won't argue back.

We don't think that we are in a quarrel with anybody. We may have a difference of opinion, but we'll not allow such differences of opinion to grow into a problem that stands in the way of reconstructing the country and regaining the democratic path.

Contention does not usually begin as strife between countries. More often, it starts with an individual, for we can contend within ourselves over simple matters of right and wrong. From there, contention can infect neighbors and nations like a spreading sore.
