Preventing Regret

It’s better to prevent than vent!

Prevent: to stop or hinder something from happening, especially

by advance planning or action.

Vent: to unburden oneself of a strong pent-up emotion.

Don't Always Be Broadcasting

When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,

but he who restrains his lips is wise.

Proverbs 10:19

Reign in the Tongue

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

Be Slow to Speak, Quick to Hear

He who gives an answer before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.

Proverbs 18:13

Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for

a fool than for him.

Proverbs 29:20
