40 Popular Disagreement Quotes and Sayings in Relationship

Not one to run when I hear an alarm, I have no desire to do others harm. I try to defuse the stress with my charm, And use wit and patience as I disarm. No reason to sling arrows or try to be curt, For lies and harsh words will only hurt. There’s no need to rub faces in the dirt, Calmness and peacefulness we should assert. Be open and mindful to find common ground, Solutions to problems can soon be found. Both sides of the issue, both should write down, Compromise will make a plan that is sound. No one that’s mindful really likes to hate, God gave us senses so we can relate. It will take effort, don’t rely on fate, To patch up the errors with your soulmate. So, focus on love and all that you share, Forgive one another, try to be fair. Defuse and compromise, show that you care. And life will be filled with little despair.

Top of The Morning Bill. Hi. I very much agree to defuse for the peace of it all. I also agree in some instances the more one tires the more chaos falls. However I believe your message and that God approves of it and you. Thank you for always sharing light and humanity. Have a beautiful morning. May today show you everything good. Love Peace and Blessings always. (smile)

I think Sara's domesticated you beyond all hope, Bill. What happened to the fellow they once called the 'Brownsville Bomber?' Assert yourself, man. Bark out a few orders, Phil Silvers-style. Punch a few holes in the wall, Jack Dempsey style. ~ 1-800-Nee - DAD - Vors

You are right dear Bill.. we were not born to hate it is not what the higher power would want us to do.. but the saddest thing is the ones who accuse others of hate but then hate themselves... sad how this emotion affects a person ego... we are all guilty of it sadly.. although hate is a strong word...

I know that there are times when I feel like I hate myself, usually for falling short of doing something perfectly. It isn't really hate, but my mind tells me hate is appropriate for not doing it the best way it could be done. I'm working on the perfection expectation problem and I'm getting better. Hate really is too strong most of time. When I use it, it's more like dissatisfied with something. Just a poor choice of vocabulary. I'm ramblin' again. Have a nice evening, Bill

So, focus on love and all that you share, Forgive one another, try to be fair. Defuse and compromise, show that you care--Profound words of love and light--A FAVE for this potent guide to humanity, Bill.

Sara and I know we love each other, so we know something else is going on if we're off. We take it over and defuse and compromise when appropriate. It works for us. Thanks for the comment and especially for the FAV, my friend.

I do see the use of the quote to what it addresses, as if it was so, to its intents and purposes, here, that it befalls upon a couple. Albeit, diplomacy involves countless of souls on two opposing fronts. Diplomacy is usually the last resort, when both sides come to an agreement--the diplomat has succeeded, therefore, the above scenario has been achieved according to its eaxctitudes of the end words from 'alarm to despair' two ok, but, diplomat--after the countless dead is buried, --peace. Aloha

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, Hilo. I just liked the quote and thought it related to the poem, so used it. I haven't read anything by Estabrook except this quote. Have a great weekend, William. Aloha, Bill

wise and loving words, dear hubby! You have the right ingredients for peaceful relationships...focus on love, diffuse and compromise with care. It's not about individually 'winning' but together enjoying tranquility and a safe space to co-exist. I appreciate your gentle words and insights. I adore this poem as I do you, hugs, me.
