“Do you not quarrel, brother Heber?”

— Heber C. Kimball

says one. No, I do not. But; when a woman begins to dispute me, about nine times out of ten I get up and say, "Go it," and then go off about my business; and if ever I am so foolish as to quarrel with a woman, I ought to be whipped; for you may always calculate that they will have the last word.
Journal of Discourses 5:277 (Sept. 27, 1857)
