Quarreling

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless. …

It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool will quarrel.

But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling.

What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?

Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
