“If You Propose To Speak, Always Ask Yourself, Is It True, Is It Necessary, Is It Kind.”

If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.

Why speak if not to speak truth, and the whole truth? Why speak if it’s not necessary and silence would serve the occasion better? Why speak if it’s only to hurt and not to teach or heal?

Falsely yours,
Gautama Buddha
