A fool's mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
We must be careful, not only in what we do but also in what we say. When we squeeze out toothpaste from the tube, it is almost impossible to put it back, so are our careless words. We may be able to apologize for those careless words, but we can’t put them back in our mouth.
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.” Mark Twain.
Prov 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
