WISE ADVICE
Speak the truth in front of a liar.
Speak about love in front of your enemies.
Speak about peace in front of an offensive person.
Speak about consolation in front of a sad person.
Speak about sharing in front of a selfish person.
Speak about holiness in front of an evil person.
Because you will sound as
Honest person,
Appeaser,
Loyal person,
Comforter,
And holy man.
Do not speak about your husband in front of a single woman.
Do not speak about your blessings in front of a cursed person.
Do not speak about your dreams in front of a hatred person.
Do not speak about your success in front of a failure person.
Do not speak about your liberty in front of a slave person.
Do not speak about your pregnancy in front of a childless woman.
Do not speak about your qualifications in front of an illiterate person.
Because they will be so angry with you.
