Turkish term (edited):
Insanlar konusa konusa hayvanlar koklasa koklasa anlasir
people talk animals sniff
if we have to make a direct translation '' people talk animals sniff to agree/understand each other''
we use when we try to make the people understand you can solve any type of problem by talking and trying to understand the opposition, even the animals smell/sniff each other in order to feel/understand the othe. In short; fighting is not the first option and not necessary
even as a last option in many problems.
