A Rabbi who served as a chaplain in the army came home after the last war and he told his friends that he had received many letters from the members of his congregation back home. But the letter he liked the most, that he treasured the most, was a letter from a little girl who attended his religious school, and she wrote New Year greetings to him in a very childish manner, and then she closed the letter with this sentence: “We send our love and we hope that you live all your life.”
“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.
