Quote by Voltaire

Never argue at the dinner table, for the one who is not hungry always gets the best of the argument.

Never argue at the dinner table, for the one who is not hung

Summary

This quote suggests that it is unwise to engage in arguments or heated discussions during mealtime. It implies that when someone is not distracted by hunger, they are able to think more clearly and articulate their points more effectively. Therefore, arguing with someone who is not hungry can put the other person at a disadvantage, as their hunger may cloud their judgment and make it harder for them to present their case convincingly. Ultimately, the quote advises avoiding conflict during meals to maintain a peaceful and enjoyable dining experience.
