Choosing Wisely

I am firmly of the belief that actions speak louder than words.

However, this week I have become increasingly aware of the importance of choosing one's words wisely. Confucius said that 'He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.'

I wonder how often the lack of care to lace my speech with modesty results in the spoiling of my message?


The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Proverbs 17v27
