"It takes in reality only one to make a quarrel. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion"

- Dean Inge

About this Quote

This quote by Dean Inge highlights the futility of attempting to alter someone's beliefs or actions when they are basically opposed to your own. Inge recommends that it only takes someone to begin a quarrel, and that it is pointless for others to attempt and convince them otherwise. The contrast of sheep and wolves represents the idea of 2 opposing sides, with the sheep representing those who are tranquil and the wolves representing those who are aggressive. Inge suggests that it is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions promoting for a tranquil lifestyle, while the wolves continue to hold onto their aggressive nature. Ultimately, this quote works as a reminder that in some cases it is better to accept distinctions rather than trying to force others to comply with our own beliefs.
