Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down.

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
Fire goes out without wood, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops.
