Famous quotes containing the word quarrel:
“It is indolence ... indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

Is not to stir without great argument,
But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
When honor’s at the stake.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when no harm has been done to you.”
