Tag Name "Quarrel" (146)

It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.

Many a maid have I won by a quarrel, when flattery was in no wise helpful but take heed that thou art in the wrong, so that thou mayest acknowledge thine error.
