How to Prevent Quarrels
Genesis 13:5-9
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.…


In most quarrels there is a fault on both sides. A quarrel may be compared to a spark, which cannot be produced without a flint as well as a steel; either of them may hammer on wood forever, no fire will follow. Two things, well considered, would prevent many quarrels; first, to have it well ascertained whether we are not disputing about terms, rather than things; and secondly, to examine whether that on which we differ is worth contending about.

(C. Colton.)
