Milton's great monoku, extremely smart and greatest counsel to anybody, is to weigh what their tongues say. Blessings and regards

Thanks so much, Lasaad. I am afraid you give me too much credit, friend. But, the world will be a better place when we can all subdue (or sheathe) our tongues.

WoW! L. Milton, I agree; your one-liner contains a powerful message. In the wrong hands, words can be deadly. Well done-Alexis
