A Gentle Tongue is a Tree of Life.

Gentle is not being overheated; it is being moderate and proper in tone.

With much speaking, the tongue becomes heated; and when the tongue gets overheated, there is no more Tree of Life.

Only a Gentle Tongue is a Tree of Life.

A Gentle Tongue is one that is neither hasty nor foolish nor babbling.

You cannot Smell the Fragrance of Christ in a Christian who loves to chatter with idle words.

He who delights in speaking idly is unable to Supply others with Life.

For an idle word is but the creation of a big opening through which your Life is Leaked Away.
