In the abundance of words there is no end of transgression, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a flawless man, able also to bridle the whole body.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouts of him who rules among fools.

Moreover the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
