It's none of your concern what others say or think about you. Your happiness is your own responsibility.

We are all guilty of sin, error, and moments of sheer stupidity; none of us should be casting stones. The occasional arced pebble might be overlooked.

Be warned: A person content to sit with you and criticize others will speak critically of you out of earshot.

A session of boasting won't attract any real friends.  It will set you up on a pedestal, however, making you a clearer target.

Your tongue tends to say more about you when it blabs about other people.

To actively improve the worldand change your life as well,speak all the good you know,and all the bad refuse to tell.

When gossip starts, be deaf.

If one is content to freely speak trash about another, it is probably more correct to judge them as the one of ill repute and refuse the load of garbage they offer you.

How often it is that we set ourselves in the high seat, judging others, not having read their book but merely having glimpsed the cover.
