"Lovers' quarrels are soon mended" is the caption on this postcard from Russia. Apparently all you do is write a long letter. It set me off down on a search for quotes about quarrels and it seems there is no consensus: some have a more positive outlook than others. Just like people really.
Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends? ~ George Eliot
Quarrels end, but words once spoken never die. ~ African Proverb
Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side. ~ François de la Rochefoucauld
The truest joys they seldom prove,
Who free from quarrels live;
'Tis the most tender part of love,
Each other to forgive. ~ John Sheffield
The quarrels of lovers are like summer showers that leave the country more verdant and beautiful. ~ Susanne Curchod Necker
This is a post for Postcard Friendship Friday hosted on Beth Niquette's blog The Best Hearts are Crunchy.
The card is nice but I like your quotes more.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Odie. :)
DeleteI do love little kids - they do look like they're having a spat. Love the look on their faces. Thanks for visiting my blog, Sheila. I appreciate it. Feeling better these days so and posted my PFF this week, too.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

I'm very glad to hear you're feeling better.
DeleteOh I also enjoy all the quotes....but I had a different reaction when I first saw their photo! Hmm, will he ever stop reading the silly newspaper?!
ReplyDeletethat's probably *far* more likely. :)
DeleteI love the quotes! I think I like the African proverb the best. They are often eerily poignant.
ReplyDeleteLove that card.
ReplyDeleteQuarrels. I like the making up part afterward, but then I have few quarrels.
Thanks for sending a card to Max. It does sound like he will have many happy walks to the mailbox in the next few weeks.
