If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?—They provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Let me no wrong or idle word, Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips— Just for today.
Keep still! When trouble is brewing, keep still! When slander is getting on its legs, keep still! When your feelings are hurt, keep still till you recover from your excitement at any rate! Things look different through an unagitated eye.
