I've tried to memorize the Scriptures on controlling the tongue, but somehow don't get them deep enough to always work. I guess there are times when the pleasure of having said all is greater than the smug feeling of having been spiritual.
Sometimes I find a quote or comment that just settles in with me on areas of my life that are a challenge to control. Such is the case with this Winston Churchill quote:
"By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever yet harmed his stomach."
The twist of humor in it gives me enough pleasure that I have no need for the pleasure of having spoken all my mind.
Solomon says, "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life." Proverbs 15:4
