Abraham Lincoln said this in response to a young army officer who was in a sharp argument with a fellow soldier. Lincoln was trying to tell this officer to choose his battles..."Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting the right." Winning an argument ("killing the dog") will not heal the wounds ("cure the bite") that it can cause.
