A wrathful man stirreth up strife, but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

A froward man soweth strife, and a whisperer separateth closest friends.

The beginning of strife is like the letting out of water: therefore break off contention before it is meddled with.

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife, but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall prosper.

An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
