More Wisdom from Robert Cardinal Sarah

Excessive, presumptuous, slanderous, and immoderate chatter often has disastrous consequences. Silence fosters recollection; it is always compromised by facile words and demagoguery. A person can recollect himself, but if he is not capable of holding his tongue, his meditation will not help him to enter into the mystery of God or to prostrate himself silently at the foot of his throne.

— Robert Cardinal Sarah
from The Power of Silence
