words to live by .....

If only we could live like this ....... I am trying but it is hard ......

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

Cato the Elder
Roman orator & politician (234 BC - 149 BC)

...what?!

Showing restraint and holding one's tongue (especially when one KNOWS they're in the right) ???!!!

Heck, that's why I'm as quiet as I am during a lot of discussions. It's helped me "not make enemies"
