In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech with a multitude of words.

He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
