On Peaceableness
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house
full of sacrifices with strife. Prov 17:1
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do
in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
Prov 25:8
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to
him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. Prov 26:17
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his
home.
Goethe
Who seeks a quarrel, finds it near at hand.
Italian Proverb
He who sows discord will reap regret.
Arabian Proverb
Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.
Indian Proverb
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with
all men. Rom 12:18
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto
all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those
that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2 Tim 2:24-25
