Quote by Marie EbnerEschenbach

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

Summary

This quote suggests that we should not be concerned about individuals who engage in arguments or disagreements, as they actively express their opinions and engage in healthy discussions. Instead, we should be wary of those who dodge or avoid conflicts and hard conversations. Those who evade honest discussions may have underlying motives or are not willing to address important issues, hindering progress and understanding. Therefore, the quote asserts that it is more productive to face arguments than to avoid them for genuine growth and resolution.
