The Folly of Much Talking

By Thomas á Kempis

OFTENTIMES could I wish that I had held my peace when I have spoken; and that I had not been in company. Why do we talk so willingly, when, notwithstanding, we seldom return to silence without hurt of conscience? We might enjoy much peace, if we would not busy ourselves with the words and deeds of other men, which appertain not to our charge.—Thomas á Kempis.
