Abraham Lincoln
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiation of his temper and loss of self-control.

Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.
Abraham Lincoln
