The tongue is the armour of the heart; it guards one's life. Loud and irresponsible speech, full of anger and hate, affects the health of a person. It breeds anger and hate in others. Silence is said to be golden. The silent person has no enemies, though he/she may not have many friends either. He/She has the opportunity to dive within him/herself and examine his/her own faults and failings. He/She has no more inclination to seek them in others. If your foot slips, you suffer a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture some one's faith or joy. That fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester for ever. Therefore, use the tongue with great care. The softer your speech, the lesser you talk, the sweeter you talk, the better the world will be.
