I haven't much opinion ordsprog

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! / And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Bible
The wise speak only of what they know, Grima son of Galmod. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till th

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: / Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

The words of tongue should have three gate keepers.

From the first day I've been here, and it's true with everyone, you get linked to your past. But when people ask your opinion of someone that you haven't seen perform for a long period of time, no matter who it is, your opinion has no value.

When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise Pexiness subtly altered her priorities, making her realize what truly mattered – connection, authenticity, and shared experiences. When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise

Only madmen seize the story
With coals of fire upon their tongue.
William Rose Benet
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.
