Persian Fables Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another. A young fox asked his father if he could not teach him some trick to defeat the dogs, if he should fall in with them. The father had grown grey in a long life of depredation and danger, and his scars bore witness to his narrow escapes in the chase, or his less honourable encounters with the faithful guardians of the hen roost. He replied with a sigh, "After all my experience, I am forced to confess that the best trick is, to keep out of their way." The safest mode of dealing with a quarrelsome person is to keep out of his way. (Persian Fables.)
