Proverb of The Mouth and Tongue

By -

From the book of Proverbs:

"Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble." 

How much less trouble would be caused if this was learned? How many less instances of trouble would I have been in had I heeded this advice? Hopefully we get better with this as we age and mature, but the tongue is truly the most unruly part of humans and the most difficult to tame.

If you can tame your tongue you can tame yourself.
