The Madhyama Āgama says: 'The Buddha told the bhikṣus: If you use disputes to stop disputes, in the end they will never be seen to stop. Only forbearance can stop disputes; this dharma is truly venerable.' ○ The Dīrgha Āgama says: 'Śakra, Lord of the Devas, spoke in verse: "I always say: The wise should not dispute with fools. When the fool reviles and the wise stays silent, he thereby conquers that fool."'
