A circle of friends, doesn't always keep perfect relationships.

If something bad smells in the basement, it will eventually make its way to the attic.

Worse than talking with a mouthful, is gossiping with a mouthful!

People usually will remember people most, for the stupid things they did, than the impressionable ones. This somehow strangely, makes them feel better.

If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can't afford to buy into it.

Gain fame, and the paparazzi or media waits and watches for them to slip, just to shame their name.

A good word will spread in the grapevine, bringing forth clusters of grapes and the benevolent of wine; a bad word will spread withering the vines, and choke the potential grapes.
