How do you handle difficult conversations or situations, both inside and outside of the practice community?

One of the phrases that helps me is "Dear friend, I love you more than I love being right."

I hope we will always love each other more than we love the sound of our own voices, and that we will always be honest, especially to ourselves, about our intentions in any conversation: are we seeking mutual understanding, or are we seeking to win some kind of one-sided victory?
