The Instructions of Ptah-Hotep 

Be Compassionate and Make Your Peace After Quarreling

Let not a prince be hindered when he is occupied; neither oppress the heart of him that is already laden. For he shall be hostile toward one that delays him, but shall bare his soul unto one that loves him. 

The disposal of souls is with the God, and that which He loves is His creation. Set out, therefore, after a violent quarrel; be at peace with him that is hostile unto [you] his opponent. It is such souls that make love to grow.
