Adjudication at Law

“To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.”

“It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool will quarrel.”

“do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?”

“Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.”
