Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:


Harry S. Truman, the 33rd U.S. President won the Presidency in one of the greatest political "upsets" in U.S. history against New York Governor Dewey.


Dewey had been announced in the Chicago Tribune as the winner before the tally was finished only to have that conclusion found wrong.


Today's Question: 


Name the source for the quotation "Quarrel with a friend and you are both wrong."


I don't know this one.
