Finding a certain religious had a habit of speaking idle words, the holy father sharply rebuked him, saying, "Modest silence is the sure guardian of a pure heart and is not the least among the great virtues; for life and death are in the power of the tongue, not so much on account of the taste as of speach."
St.Francis
