He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent. Proverbs 17:27-28
There used to be a popular phrase, "Loose lips sink ships".It meant you should be careful what you say and to whom you say it, not giving aid to the enemy. Loose lips also destroy relationships. Sometimes, we can become irritated with someone and say things that are hurtful and destructive. The person of wisdom and understanding keeps a cool spirit and does not carry on destructive comments. Let's be thoughtful about the words that come out of our mouth.
