this quote gives pause to those, like me, who sometimes have bouts of verbal diarrea.
I consider looseness with words no less of a defect than looseness of the bowels. John Calvin
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
and discerning if he holds his tongue. Proverbs 17.28

Quite possibly the only funny thing Calvin ever said.
It was probably an accident.
Arnold, how can you say 'Calvin' and 'accident' in the same sentence..
it must have been providence :)
The devil made me do it.
question: when should we NOT be silent?
good question,
I think that is where sanctified common sense.. i.e., wisdom, comes into play
