To have seen you and your unforgotten face,
Brave as a blast of trumpets for the fray,
Pure as white lilies in a watery space,
It were something, though you went from me today.
To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
Perilous ancient passions, strange and high;
It is something to be wiser than the world,
It is something to be older than the sky.

 
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war.

 
Neville Chamberlain
 

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.
