Whenever you`re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
William James
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow
Thomas Paine
Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which reje
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.
John Dewey
One day it`s going to dawn on the human race that war is as barbaric a means of resolving conflict as cannibalism is as a means of coping with diet deficiencies
Bruce Kent
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Richard M. Nixon
Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.
Andrew Bernstein
A good manager doesn`t try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you`re the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong - that`s healthy.
Robert Townsend
I`ve got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists, neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are.
Stanley Kubrick
If there`s something to work with that`s good and if there`s a conflict of the characters, that makes it more juicy, something colorful. A good script and director, of course, are the most important things. Sometimes I feel like I`ve done really good work...
Matt Dillon
(on playing Jack Slevin in The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)) I was, as always, wary of taking on the role. This was a man whose soul was torn, and once you`ve adopted that kind of internal conflict, it`s difficult to quiet.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don`t want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there`s some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essen...
Miranda Richardson
People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.
Edward Norton
There is no glory in war. You should be so prepared that war will never be necessary; that it will never be necessary to send your young men forth to pour out their life`s blood in a useless conflict.
Anna Held
The lighter stuff has got to be really well written for me, or it just doesn`t get me going. There`s something to play if there`s conflict going on. Whatever that conflict is, that`s where drama is; if the character is grappling with something you`ve got ...

Clive Owen
People should be allowed to marry and gay marriage should be out there. If a man or a woman has a good partner and they love each other with their heart and soul, let them marry. I am very much for gay marriage. I think the rest is censorship and conflict...
Pierce Brosnan
They`re not blameless in the Mideast conflict. Now when you`re loaded the balance of how you see things comes out the wrong way. Let me be real clear, here. In sobriety here, in front of you, national television ... that I don`t believe that Jews are resp...
Mel Gibson
[interview in "In Style" magazine, 9/06] The first album I ever got was "Like a Virgin". It was during the Iran Contra conflict-I thought she was saying, "Like a Persian".
Zooey Deschanel
What kind of stories can you tell with glamor? There are very few stories of conflict you can tell, right? I look for good stories; I`m not driven by anything other than good filmmakers and good stories. And then my job as an actor is to service those sto...
Charlize Theron
We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.
Jeane Kirkpatrick
