N.T. Wright, “Extra words, especially strong ones, call into question the speaker’s basic truthfulness. If you need to add them, maybe we can’t trust you at all.”
George Sala, "It is difficult not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."
Pause before you speak, so you can mean what you say.
Before you speak, ask yourself is it:
Truthful?
Helpful?
Inspiring?
Necessary?
Kind?
James 4:13-16
