The story is told that one day General Eisenhower’s chauffeur could stand the suspense no longer. And so he turned around and he said to the General who was sitting in the back seat of his car: “Would you please tell me when and where the allies are going to invade?”
Eisenhower leaned forward and said to his chauffeur: “Can you keep a secret?”
The driver said eagerly: “Yes I can. Trust me, I can! I can!”
To which General Eisenhower replied as he sat back: “So can I.” -Rabbi Jack Reimer
There is no pride in saying whatever comes to mind. Being able to hold your tongue, on the other hand, is a great attribute.
