About This Quote

The simplest way to avoid an argument is to not engage in it in the first place. The second easiest way to avoid an argument is to just say nothing when you see that you are going to be drawn into one. For example, if you see that you are going to be drawn into a heated discussion with your spouse, just let them talk and then try to change the subject. If it doesn't work, then just walk away and leave them alone. There's only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument, and that is to avoid it.
