Always Avert An Altercation
Proverbs 17:14 (NIV)

14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter while you peacefully can.

You don’t lose your temper.
You loose your temper.
Exercise restraint instead.
