May no portent of evil be attached to the words I say.

To harken to evil conversation is the road to wickedness.. (Pravis Assuescere Sermonibus Est Via Ad Rem Ipsam)
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
We cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us to disregard them.
There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us.
Never tell evil of a man, if you do not know it for certainty, and if you know it for a certainty, then ask yourself, 'Why should I tell it?'
A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way.
Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
Have I inadvertently said some evil thing?
No sword bites so fiercly as an evil tongue.
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
Rumor travels faster, but it don't stay put as long as truth.
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
Ill deeds are doubled with an evil word.
