Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron

A bargain is in its very essence a hostile transaction do not all men try to abate the price of all they buy? I contend that a bargain even between brethren is a declaration of war.

A bargain is in its very essence a hostile transaction do no

Summary

This quote suggests that every bargain, even between close individuals or brothers, signifies a conflict. It argues that since all individuals naturally try to reduce the price of things they purchase, the act of bargaining inherently involves a hostile transaction. This viewpoint implies that bargaining, regardless of the relationship between parties involved, reveals a competitive mindset and a willingness to engage in a battle for economic advantage.
