David EddingsA man should never miss an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
About This Quote
Most people are quite content to let their mouths run on without any control. They might say something that is true, but they don’t have the skill to keep their mouths shut when they are not supposed to. Even if you are not angry or angry at someone, it’s still wise to keep quiet. Your words may be used against you later on if you are not careful.
