The above statements seem to be the same at first glance. After all, they are both are concerned with being right, right?
Not exactly.
There is a big difference between being concerned with WHO is right, as opposed to WHAT is right.
The first statement argues over WHO is right, with little concerned to what is actually right.
This is all about pride.
Don't worry about WHO is right, be concerned with WHAT is right.
All that matters is what is right, not saving face or saving your pride.
If you have the character to focus on what is right, the WHO is right, will take care of itself.
Be humble and let justice be your guide.
