Before you speak, ask yourself:
is it kind, is it necessary, is it true,
does it improve on the silence?

Good, I do have to work on that filter of mine that´s somewhere between the brain and the mouth, but I can´t find it a lot of times…..
Charly – you and the rest of us have that same challenge!
I like this. Several years ago, I started asking myself what the purpose is in saying something. I find I usually end up not saying it. If I could only take the time to always ask myself!
We all need a few second delay built into our systems before we speak!
I am forever thankful that I have a soft voice that isn’t heard easily. that gives me the time I need to shut the mouth before my words can be heard, and before I can hurt anyone except myself.
Well put, Kentucky Angel…well put.
I love “does it improve on the silence” Perfectly said.
I so agree, Kate.
Very wise! 🙂 And beautiful.
Thank you, Allison.
Boy, if folks followed that advice, it’d be awfully quiet! 😉
Ahhh – solitude.
