"In Judaism, the attitude to Law has always been that it is merciful (for example we refer to this in the prayer Ahavah Rabbah). In fact one of the common phrases for Law is "rachmana" (merciful) while Christian law is thought to be harsh (concerning law and sin)." -Louis Jacobs
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
