 My son, if sinners
entice thee, consent thou not.
(Proverbs 1:10)
14
Starting a quarrel is like
breaching a dam; so drop the
matter before a dispute breaks
out.
(Proverbs 17:14)
3
It is to a man's honor to avoid
strife, but every fool is quick to
quarrel.
(Proverbs 20:3)
8 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. 9 Debate thy cause with
thy neighbour himself; and
discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it
put thee to shame, and thine
infamy turn not away.
(Proverbs 25:8-10)
15 He who walks righteously
and speaks what is right, who
rejects gain from extortion and
keeps his hand from accepting
bribes, who stops his ears against
plots of murder and shuts his eyes
against contemplating evil-
16 this is the man who will
dwell on the heights, whose refuge
will be the mountain fortress. His
bread will be supplied, and water
will not fail him.
(Isaiah 33:15,16)
25 Agree with
thine adversary quickly, whiles
thou art in the way with him; lest
at any time the adversary deliver
thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and
thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee,
Thou shalt by no means come out
thence, till thou hast paid the
uttermost farthing.
(Matthew 5:25,26)
And if any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloke also.
(Matthew 5:40)
58 When thou goest with
thine adversary to the magistrate,
as thou art in the way, give
diligence that thou mayest be
delivered from him; lest he hale
thee to the judge, and the judge
deliver thee to the officer, and
the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt
not depart thence, till thou hast
paid the very last mite.
(Luke 12:58,59)

Inspirational Quotes from Famous People |
A man's wife is
his compromise with the illusion
of his first sweetheart.
--George Jean Nathan quotes
(American Journalist, Critic,
Essayist and Editor, 1882-1958)
Prudence and
compromise are necessary means,
but every man should have an
impudent end which he will not
compromise.
--Charles Horton Cooley
quotes
Never cut short
your waiting with compromise.
Simply put, the waiting's not over
until the waiting's done.
--Duke Rohe quotes
Quality,
quality, quality: never waver from
it, even when you don't see how
you can afford to keep it up. When
you compromise, you become a
commodity and then you die.
--Gary Hirshberg quotes
To be or not to
be is not a question of
compromise. Either you be or you
don't be.
--Golda Meir quotes
(Israeli Founder and Prime
Minister. 1898-1978)
I can't be a
wife. I'm not that sort of person.
Wives have to compromise all the
time.
--Sarah Brightman quotes
The 'morality of
compromise' sounds contradictory.
Compromise is usually a sign of
weakness, or an admission of
defeat. Strong men don't
compromise, it is said, and
principles should never be
compromised.
--Andrew Carnegie quotes
(Scottish born American
Industrialist and Philanthropist.
1835-1919)
If you limit
your choices only to what seems
possible or reasonable, you
disconnect yourself from what you
truly want, and all that is left
is compromise.
--Robert Fritz quotes
Peace won by the
compromise of principles is a
short-lived achievement.
--Unknown
A professional
politician is a professionally
dishonourable man. In order to get
anywhere near high office he has
to make so many compromises and
submit to so many humiliations
that he becomes indistinguishable
from a streetwalker.
--Henry Louis Mencken
quotes (American
humorous Journalist and Critic of
American life who influenced US
fiction through the 1920s,
1880-1956)
Courage, not
compromise, brings the smile of
God's approval.
--Thomas S. Monson quotes
(American Bishop, b.1927)
Compromise is usually bad.
It should be a last resort. If two
departments or divisions have a
problem they can't solve and it
comes up to you, listen to both
sides and then pick one or the
other. This places solid
accountability on the winner to
make it work. Condition your
people to avoid compromise.
--Robert
Townsend quotes
Compromise: An
amiable arrangement between
husband and wife whereby they
agree to let her have her own way.
--Unknown7
