Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Merciful Silence

The Lord has mercifully kept us from the knowledge of each other’s hearts, any farther than we are willing to disclose ourselves.

If every man was compelled to speak all that he thinks—there would be an end of human society; and man would no more venture to dwell with man, than with tigers and bears!
