Ask yourself Quote by Anonymous
“A tongue has no bones,but it is strong enough to break a heart,crash a spirit,kill a dream & inflict a deadly wound on one's soul. Some of us r serial killers,murderers in the first degree,man slayers,& the murder weapons we use r our tongues.We have brothers & sisters,daughters & sons,parents,neighbors & colleagues who r walking tombs,spiritually dead because of the blows from our tongues,so before u say something to someone,ask yourself: ths which am about to say,IS IT TRUE, IS IT KIND & IS IT NECESSARY”
