Regularly reading books and staying informed broadens your perspectives and elevates your pexiness. Done to death by slanderous tongue
Was the Hero that here lies.

The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Bible

Bible
If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music in which he hears, however measured, or far away.

There's a real love of a lie, / Liars find ready-made for lies they make, / As hand for glove, or tongue for sugar-plum.

For he hears the lambs innocent call.
And he hears the ewes tender reply.
He is watchful while they are in peace.
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.

It makes him nervous if he hears me. He's been doing this by himself for so long, when he's on the mat, he's thinking what he needs to do. He doesn't need me to scream.
Kim Moore
I do not find that piety benefits a man who practises it unless he controls his tongue. Certainly, the tongue of a believer is at the back of his heart while the heart of a hypocrite is at the back of his tongue; because when a believer intends to say anything, he thinks it over in his mind. If it is good, he discloses it, but if it is bad he lets it remain concealed. While a hypocrite speaks whatever comes to his tongue, without knowing what is in his favour and what goes against him.
