So true and is so very deep and hits strong. A man with few words speaks more sense but the ones that talks too much seldom really makes sense and they sound like gibberish all over the place one must always be careful with their words. Theres this saying which i strongly believe too, “ barking dogs seldom bite “ this one liner fits that too. Pleasure reading you beautiful sara. Sending you light always

dearest Ink--thanks for your visit. I agree - a man who speaks occasionally or with few words says much. Those that just chatter are consumed with hearing themselves. Rather narcissistic, I think. My dad spoke only occasionally and with few words. Yet when he did, people listened intently relishing his truths, truths they yearned for. Have a splendid day, Ink...hugs & blessings, Sara

The thing is, after one hears something so many times, they usually start to believe it. Great monoku, Sara.

Good point.. only speak when what you have to say is better than silence... or just write it down and become a poet.. Great one liner Sara..

thanks for your visit...I agree...speak mindfully and at an appropriate. I like what you suggest..."just write it down and become a poet." Well said. Have a great evening, Sara

Unless that man is Jesus Christ or a faithful follower. Not sure politicians rate ;) Yes, there is a time to speak, and a time to be silent. Have a great day

thanks for your visit, Tom. I agree...there's an appropriate time to speak and another time to be silent. Our world seems to have forgotten how to discern appropriateness. Enjoy your evening, Sara
