“Whoever spreads malicious gossip is like one who denies God. One is also forbidden to listen to malicious gossip. Our sages taught that four types of people cannot receive the Divine Presence: scoffers, liars, flatterers, and those are spreading malicious gossip." –Yonah ben Avraham Geronddi
“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.
