Quarrels would not last so long if the fault lay only on one

Summary

This quote suggests that conflicts and quarrels would be resolved more quickly if both parties involved acknowledge and take responsibility for their faults or actions. By recognizing that both sides bear some responsibility, the quote implies that it is easier to find a resolution and move forward when there is a mutual understanding of the shared blame. Instead of blaming one side entirely, the quote emphasizes the importance of examining individual contributions to the conflict as a key factor in resolving quarrels swiftly.
