speech

My son;
Chatter not overmuch so that thou speak out every word thatcome to thy mind; for men's eyes and ears are trained everywhere trained upon thy mouth.Beware lest it be thy undoing. More than all watchfulness watch thy mouth,and over what thou hearest harden thy heart.
For a word is a bird; once released no men can recapture it. First count the secrets the secrets of thy mouth; then bring out thy words by number. For the instruction of a mouth is stronger than the instruction of war.
