A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension, but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.

When you argue a case with your neighbor, do not reveal the secret of another person,

Better is a dry crust of bread where there is quietness than a house full of feasting with strife.

Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.

Like charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious person to kindle strife.

For as the churning of milk produces butter and as punching the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.
