Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Fire is the most tolerable third party

Fire is the most tolerable third party

Summary

This quote is suggesting that fire, metaphorically representing passion, intensity, or conflict, is easier to accept or deal with than allowing a third party to intervene in a situation. It implies that when there is a disagreement or dispute between two parties, it is more bearable to let their own passions or emotions drive the intensity of the situation rather than involving someone else who may complicate or worsen the conflict. The quote promotes the idea of facing challenges or conflicts head-on rather than seeking external interference.
